Sign a PDF without a signing service

Click where the signature goes, then draw it with a mouse or finger, type it in a script face, or upload a photo of your signature on paper and the background is removed. Signatures are remembered in your browser for next time. The file never leaves your computer.

Questions

Is this a legally binding e-signature?

It places an image of your signature on the document, the same as signing a printed copy and scanning it. It does not add a cryptographic certificate or an audit trail. For contracts that require a certified signature, use a signing service.

Can I sign on my phone?

Yes. Drawing with a finger works well on a touch screen.

Where is my signature stored?

In your browser only, so it can be reused. It is never sent to us.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The file is opened, edited and written by code running in your browser. Nothing about the document reaches our server: no bytes, no text, no form values. Only your email address, your news preference and a record of each download are stored, and you can delete the account whenever you like.

Is it really free?

Yes. There are no paid tiers, no watermarks and no page limits. Downloading needs a free account with a confirmed email address, which is how the tool pays for itself: it introduces people to Eight Mile, the studio that built it.
