PDF Signature
Place a visible signature on a PDF: type your name to have it drawn in an italic script style, or upload a PNG or JPEG of your handwritten signature after the PDF. Choose the page, the position and the width, and add a signature line with the current date below it. This adds a visible mark only, not a cryptographic digital signature, so it suits informal approvals and returned forms.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a legally binding digital signature?
No. The tool places a visible signature mark, text or an image, on the page. It does not create a cryptographic digital signature with a certificate, so it cannot prove who signed or that the file was not changed afterwards. When a recipient requires a digital or qualified electronic signature, use a signing service or reader that supports certificates.
How do I use an image of my signature?
Upload the PDF first and then a PNG or JPEG of your signature, up to 5 MiB and 4000 pixels a side. A PNG with a transparent background looks best. When an image is given, a typed name, if any, is printed small under the signature line.
How does the typed signature look?
The name is drawn in Times Italic in dark blue ink, sized to fill the signature width up to 48 points. Names with characters outside that font, such as Greek or Cyrillic, are drawn in Inter slanted like handwriting. Characters neither font covers are refused with a message.
Which page is signed?
The page number you enter, from 1 to the last page. Leave it at 0 to sign the last page, where most documents expect the signature.
How do I position the signature?
Choose one of nine positions, such as bottom right, and a margin from 0 to 200 points from the page edge. The width, from 40 to 500 points, sets how wide the signature block is, and it shrinks to fit narrow pages.
What does the date option add?
A small line under the signature with the words Signed on and the current date in the form 2026-11-12, taken in UTC when the file is processed. Turn it off to leave out the date.
Is the signature placed on top of the text?
Yes, it is drawn above the page content at the chosen spot. Pick the position that matches the signature box of the document, or adjust the margin so it does not cover text.
Can the signature be removed later?
It becomes part of the page content, not a form field or comment, so it cannot be removed with a click. Someone with a PDF editor could still delete or copy it, which is another reason not to rely on it for security.
Can I sign a password protected PDF?
Yes. Enter the password in the password field. The signed copy is saved without password protection, and the password is not returned.
What are the limits?
A PDF up to 10 MiB and 200 pages, an optional image up to 5 MiB, and 30 seconds of processing. One page is signed per run, so run the tool again to initial other pages.
