Do I have to give an email address to download my file?

No. The download is available immediately once processing finishes. There is no email gate and no verification step.

Can I use this on a public or shared computer?

Yes. There is no login to leave signed in and no file stored anywhere. Closing the tab clears everything the tool was holding.

Is this a legally binding electronic signature?

It is a typed signature, not a cryptographic digital signature backed by a certificate. Many jurisdictions accept typed signatures for everyday agreements where both parties intend to be bound, but this tool makes no legal guarantee. If you need a qualified electronic signature with an audit trail and identity verification, use a dedicated e-signature service.

Can I draw my signature or upload an image of it?

Not yet — the tool currently places typed text. Drawn and image-based signatures are a planned addition.

Where exactly is the signature placed?

At the bottom right of the chosen page, inset from the edge, with a horizontal rule drawn directly beneath it. The horizontal position is calculated from the width of your name so it never runs off the page.

Can I sign more than one page?

One page per run. To sign several pages, run the tool again on the file you just downloaded, choosing a different page each time.

Can other people tell the document was signed here?

No branding, watermark or metadata identifying this tool is added. The signed file contains your document and your signature and nothing else.

A single PDF file, up to 100 MB. Files are processed on this device.

There is no account on this page. No email address, no password to invent, no verification link to go and find, and no marketing list you are quietly added to. Add your PDF file and use the tool.

Registration walls exist to capture your details, not to make the tool work better. Nothing about sign pdf requires knowing who you are — the operation is the same whether the site has your email or not, so asking for it would only slow you down.

This also means there is nothing to log back into, nothing to remember and nothing to delete later. When you close the tab, the transaction is complete.

Most documents that need signing do not need a cryptographic certificate — they need a name on a line so the other party can see who agreed to what. Internal approvals, delivery notes, consent forms and simple agreements all fall into this category, and printing, signing and rescanning them is a waste of an afternoon.

This tool types your signature onto the page in an italic face, draws a rule beneath it the way a printed signature block reads, and hands the document back. Sign the last page by default, or name any page in the document.

Why use this sign pdf tool

No email address needed

You are never asked for an email, either before using the tool or before downloading the result.

No password to manage

There is no account, so there is nothing to create, remember, reset or eventually delete.

Safe on shared computers

Nothing is stored and no session persists, so there is nothing left for the next person who uses the machine.

No printing or scanning

The signature goes straight onto the digital file, so the document never has to leave the screen and never loses quality to a scanner.

It looks like a signature block

The name is set in an italic face with a rule underneath, sized to the text, rather than being dropped onto the page as plain body copy.

Sign any page

Signature blocks are usually on the last page, which is the default, but you can name any page when yours is somewhere else.

No account, and nothing left behind

Because there is no account, there is no profile holding a history of what you processed. Nothing about this session is associated with an identity, because no identity was ever created.

Your files are handled the same way. Almost every tool here works inside your browser, so files are never uploaded, never stored on a server, and disappear from memory as soon as you close or reload the page. There is no cleanup job deleting your documents later, because they were never anywhere to delete.

The practical upshot is that this page works the same on a shared or public computer as it does on your own. There is no session to forget to log out of and no cached account for the next person to find.

How signing works

The document is loaded with pdf-lib and Helvetica Oblique is embedded. The tool measures the width of your name at the chosen point size, positions it so it sits inset from the right edge of the page with a guaranteed minimum left margin, and draws it into the page content stream.

A thin horizontal line is then drawn immediately below the text, spanning exactly the width of the name. Nothing else on the page is altered, and the rest of the document is written back unchanged.

Privacy

Your files are not uploaded. When you add a PDF file, your browser reads it from your device into the memory of the tab you are looking at, and the sign pdf operation runs there using your own processor. Nothing is transmitted to any server at any point.

That means there is no file for anyone to store, no retention policy to trust, and no deletion schedule to take on faith. The document exists only in the memory of an open browser tab, and it is released the moment you close it, reload the page, or press start over.

The site uses standard anonymous analytics to count page views and how often each tool is used. Those events record which tool ran and whether it succeeded — never a file name, never file contents, and never anything that could identify a document or the person processing it.

No account is required, so no personal information is collected. There is no profile, no history and nothing tied to an identity, because no identity was ever created.

Security

The strongest security property this tool has is structural: your file never travels anywhere, so there is no transmission to intercept and no server-side copy to breach. This is not a policy that could change — it is a consequence of where the code runs.

You can verify it in about thirty seconds. Open your browser's developer tools with F12, select the Network tab, and use the tool. You will see the page's scripts load — including the PDF libraries, which are fetched on demand the first time a tool runs — and then nothing further. No request carrying your document is ever made.

For a stronger test, disconnect from the network once the page has loaded. The tool will keep working exactly as before, which is only possible because nothing is being sent.

Uploaded files are validated in the browser before anything runs: the extension must match what the tool accepts, the file must not be empty, and it must be within the size limit. Malformed documents produce a clear error and a retry option rather than a silent failure.

What this tool does not do

Being clear about limits is more useful than a feature list that quietly omits them. Typed signatures only, one page per run, with no cryptographic signing, certificate, timestamp or audit trail.

If you need capabilities beyond that — redaction, PDF/A conformance, OCR, or scripted batch processing across thousands of documents — dedicated desktop software genuinely earns its licence fee, and this is not trying to replace it. For the specific job of producing a signed PDF, everything you need is on this page.
