02 — How it works

From unsigned draft to signed PDF.

Signing a contract used to mean print → ink → scan → email. This tool collapses the loop to one click: drop the PDF, capture your signature once, place it, save. The original PDF stays untouched; the output is a clean signed copy.

01

Drop the PDF

Drag the contract, quote, or proposal in. The tool reads its page count in the browser — nothing uploads.

02

Capture your signature

Type your name in a cursive font, draw with your trackpad, or upload a scanned signature image. Live preview shows the result instantly.

03

Place & save

Pick a position (corner / centre / custom %), pick the page (last is default for contracts), optionally add a "Signed by X · date" caption, and save.

03 — Built for contracts

Sign — properly.

Three capture modes

Type your name in a cursive / script / casual / italic-serif font, draw on a canvas with your mouse or finger, or upload a scanned PNG / JPG of your wet signature.

7 position presets

Bottom-right (default), bottom-left, bottom-centre, top corners, centre, plus a custom X / Y % position when the contract has a specific signature box.

Page selection

Last page only is the default for contracts. Switch to first page, all pages, or a specific page number when the template demands it.

Adjustable width

Set the signature width as a percentage of the page (5–100%). Default 25% — big enough to read, small enough to fit a corner. Aspect ratio is preserved automatically.

Optional caption

Auto-print "Signed by <name> · <date>" beneath the signature for audit-friendly output. Falls on the correct side of the signature based on position.

100% in browser

Your signature image, the source PDF, and the signed output never touch the network. Everything renders locally via canvas + jsPDF. Nothing is uploaded or logged.

04 — Common questions

Everything about PDF signing.

01Is this a legally-binding e-signature?

In many jurisdictions, a signed PDF (an image of a signature affixed by the signatory with intent to sign) carries legal weight equivalent to a wet signature — under e-IDAS in the EU, the ESIGN Act in the US, the IT Act in India. But "intent" is the key word: a court will look at whether you genuinely signed. For high-stakes contracts (employment, M&A, real-estate), use a dedicated e-signature service with audit trail and identity verification, not a static image overlay.

02Will the signature stay where I placed it on every device?

Yes — once the signed PDF is saved, the signature image is permanently embedded at the chosen page coordinates. Every PDF viewer will render it identically (the same pixels, in the same place). Where rendering differs is the typed-mode font choice: if you typed "Alex Hartwell" in Snell Roundhand, your output uses a real Snell-rendered PNG, not the system font reference — so it looks the same on Windows where Snell isn't installed.

03Can I sign multiple times on the same document?

In one pass, no — the tool applies a single signature per run. To sign in multiple positions or with multiple signatories, run the tool once per signature: first signatory signs the unsigned PDF, second signatory uses the output of step 1 as their input, and so on. Each pass adds one more signature; the previous ones stay embedded.

04What's the difference between typing and uploading?

Typing renders your name in a cursive font and creates a transparent PNG on the fly — fast, no scanner needed, but the result looks like a font (because it is). Uploading a scanned PNG of your wet signature looks far more like a real signature, but requires a scanner / phone-capture step beforehand. Drawing falls in the middle — natural-looking strokes if you have a stylus or trackpad, less so with a mouse.

05Will the signature be searchable or selectable in the output?

The signature itself is an image (PNG), so it won't be selectable as text. The rest of the PDF content also rasterises during the sign process (same approach as the other PDF utilities), so text-layer content becomes part of each page image. For text-selectable output with embedded signatures, use a dedicated PDF editor.

06Does my data leave the browser?

Never. The PDF, signature image, and signed output stay on your machine. All canvas drawing, image generation, and PDF rendering happens locally in your browser tab. No upload, no third-party API, no logging. Close the tab and the signature is gone from memory.
