If you've ever received a PDF by email with instructions to 'sign and return,' you know the frustration. Print it (if you even have a printer), find a pen, sign the page, find a scanner (or use a phone scanner app that adds its own watermark), save the scan, and email it back as a lower-quality version of the original. That entire ritual is unnecessary. This tool lets you open the PDF, place your signature on the page with a click, and download the signed version — all without leaving your browser. The original document quality is preserved because there's no print-scan cycle degrading the resolution. The whole thing takes about 30 seconds from start to finish.

## How it works

1. **Upload Your PDF** — Drag and drop or click to select the PDF document you need to sign
2. **Create Your Signature** — Draw freehand, type with handwriting fonts, or upload a signature image
3. **Place & Download** — Click on the PDF to position your signature, resize it, choose pages, and download

## Use cases

- **Daily Business Operations**: Sign purchase orders, delivery receipts, and vendor invoices as they come in throughout the day
- **Client Intake**: New clients sign service agreements, privacy consents, and engagement letters before the first meeting
- **Family Paperwork**: Sign school forms, sports waivers, medical authorizations, and summer camp registrations for your kids
- **Government Submissions**: Sign and return tax documents, social services forms, and municipal applications without visiting an office

## Tips

- **Handle Multiple Documents in a Row**: After downloading one signed PDF, click 'Sign another' to immediately load the next document. No need to refresh or navigate away.
- **Use the Same Signature Consistently**: Save a signature image file and upload it each time. Faster than redrawing and gives you a consistent look across all your documents.
- **Check Page Count Before Applying**: Some multi-page documents only need a signature on the last page. Others need initials on every page. Use the page selector to match the requirement.
- **Email the Signed Version Right Away**: The downloaded file has '_signed' appended to the name, making it easy to distinguish from the unsigned original when attaching to a reply.

## FAQ

### What types of documents can I sign?

Any PDF file. Contracts, forms, letters, applications, waivers — if it's a PDF, you can add your signature to it. The tool doesn't restrict document types.

### Do I need a special browser?

Any modern browser works — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Arc. If it was updated in the last couple of years, you're good.

### Can I sign documents on my phone?

Yes. The tool is fully responsive. Upload the PDF, draw your signature with your finger on the touchscreen, place it, and download. Works on iPhone and Android.

### What happens to my document after I sign it?

The signed PDF downloads to your device. Nothing stays on our end because nothing was ever sent to us. Your browser handled the entire process locally.
