Add a handwritten electronic signature to a PDF

This PDF signing tool lets you draw a handwritten signature using a mouse, trackpad, stylus, or touch screen. After drawing it, you can place the signature on the required PDF page and adjust its size before downloading the final document.

The signature is embedded into the PDF as visual content. This makes the downloaded file useful when a document simply requires an electronic representation of your handwritten signature.

This is different from certificate-based PDF digital signing. A cryptographic digital signature can include identity certificates, tamper validation, signing timestamps, and trust-chain verification. Those features are not added by this browser tool.
