Sign PDF

Make a signature once — drawn with a finger or a mouse, typed in a handwriting face, or uploaded as a photo with the background knocked out — then place it on the page, resize it, and save. Add the date and your initials in the same pass.

Questions people actually ask

Is this a legally binding signature?

It produces an electronic signature, which is what the overwhelming majority of agreements ask for and what eIDAS calls a simple electronic signature. It is not a certificate-backed digital signature; if the other side asked specifically for a qualified or certificate-based signature, you need a certificate authority, not a drawing.

Can I sign with my phone instead of a mouse?

Yes — open the signature panel, switch to the Phone tab and scan the QR code. Draw on the phone, press send, and it appears on the computer ready to place. The link lasts fifteen minutes.

Does my signature get stored on your servers?

Signing with a mouse or a stylus, no: it lives in your browser for the length of the session and then it is gone. Signing with your phone is the one exception, because the drawing has to cross from one device to the other somehow — it sits in our database for at most fifteen minutes and is deleted the instant your computer collects it.

Do you keep a copy of my file?

No. Sign PDF runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly and the Canvas API — the bytes of your document never travel to us. The only thing that reaches our servers is a counter incrementing by one, and whatever you deliberately choose to save to your library.

Is it really free?

Yes: three documents a day, up to ten pages each, with no account and no watermark. Beyond that, Baker is $10 a month for 300 documents with no page limit at all, and Bakery is $25 for 1,500.
