The three-step method

Upload the document to Sign PDF; create your signature by drawing (finger or mouse), typing (styled text) or uploading a photo of your handwritten one; drag it onto the signature line, add the date, download. Free with fair daily limits.

Phone signing works beautifully

Finger-drawn signatures on a phone screen come out natural — often better than mouse attempts. The whole flow runs in the mobile browser: receive the document, sign it, send it back, all from wherever the email found you.

Know what you're signing with

This is electronic signing — accepted for everyday agreements broadly, distinct from certificate-based (PKI) digital signatures and notarization that regulated processes may require. Match the tool to the document\'s stakes. Files are processed temporarily and deleted automatically — there is no general cloud storage.
