Sign PDF
Draw a signature or type your name in one of 39 handwriting-style fonts, position it on any page, and download the signed PDF with an attached signature certificate — signer name, timestamp, method, and a document fingerprint — plus your own optional company logo. This creates a basic electronic signature (valid for many everyday documents under the US ESIGN Act and EU eIDAS "simple" tier) — it is not an identity-verified, certified, or audited signature, and isn't suitable for wills, certain real-estate transactions, or other documents that legally require a qualified/advanced signature.

Frequently asked questions
Is this legally binding?▼
It produces a basic/simple electronic signature, which is legally recognized for many everyday documents in the US (ESIGN Act) and EU (eIDAS). It is not a certified or identity-verified signature, so it may not be sufficient for wills, some real-estate transactions, or other documents that require a qualified/advanced e-signature — consult a professional if you're unsure.
What's the signature certificate page?▼
A page appended to the signed PDF recording who signed, when, how, and a SHA-256 fingerprint of the document's other pages at signing time. It's a self-attested record created by this tool, not a certified or notarized signature — use the Verify Signature tool to re-check the fingerprint against a document's current content.
