Adobe Acrobat Pro costs $19.99/month just to sign PDFs. DocuSign starts at $15/month and sends your documents to their servers. For most people — renters signing a lease, freelancers signing contracts, patients signing consent forms — that's overkill.
SignPDF gives you the same result for free: a permanently signed PDF document that looks professional, loads fast, and keeps your file entirely on your device.
Visit signpdf-ten.vercel.app and drag your PDF onto the page, or click Open PDF. Your document renders immediately in the browser.
Select the Sign tool. A signature creation panel appears with three options: Draw, Type, or Upload.
Draw: Use your mouse or touchscreen to draw your natural signature.
Type: Enter your name and choose a handwriting-style font.
Upload: Upload a PNG of your handwritten signature on white paper.
Click anywhere on the page to drop your signature. Drag to reposition, and use the corner handles to resize. You can add multiple signatures and initials on different pages.
Click Export PDF. Your signed document downloads in seconds, ready to send back to whoever needs it.

In most jurisdictions, an electronic signature — including a drawn or typed signature placed on a PDF — is legally binding for everyday contracts. The U.S. ESIGN Act and UETA (enacted in all 50 states) give electronic signatures the same legal weight as ink signatures for most documents.
Common documents you can legally sign electronically:
Exceptions: Wills, adoption papers, and certain real estate deeds may require a witnessed wet ink signature depending on your state. Consult a lawyer for high-stakes legal documents.
Every time you upload a sensitive PDF — a contract with salary details, a lease with your home address, a medical form — to a web-based tool, that file touches a third-party server. Even if the service claims to delete files, you have no way to verify that.
SignPDF processes everything inside your browser using PDF.js and jsPDF. No file data, not even the filename, is ever transmitted. Your documents stay yours.
Free, browser-based, zero uploads. The fastest way to sign a PDF that respects your privacy.
