About Sign PDF

Sign Any PDF Document Online — Free and Private

Need to sign a contract, form, or agreement? PDFMerger.io lets you add a legally valid electronic signature to any PDF file in seconds — no account, no app, no upload required.

Three Ways to Sign

Draw your signature — Use your mouse on desktop or your finger on a touchscreen to draw your actual signature, just like signing on paper.

Type your name — Type your name and it will be rendered in a natural cursive script, creating a clean, professional-looking signature instantly.

Upload a signature image — Already have a photo or scan of your handwritten signature? Upload it as a PNG or JPG and it will be embedded directly into the PDF.

Is It Legally Valid?

Yes. Under the US ESIGN Act (2000), UETA, and EU eIDAS regulation, an electronic signature — including a drawn or typed name — is legally binding for the vast majority of commercial contracts, rental agreements, HR documents, and personal forms. This is the same legal standard that DocuSign and Adobe Sign use for their standard tiers.

100% Private

Your PDF never leaves your browser. The signature embedding is performed locally using pdf-lib, a JavaScript PDF library. There is no server, no cloud storage, and no third party involved.

Yes. Under the US ESIGN Act and EU eIDAS regulation, a drawn or typed electronic signature is legally binding for the vast majority of commercial contracts and personal documents.

QDoes this tool upload my PDF to a server?

No. Your PDF and signature are processed entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. Nothing is ever sent to a server or stored anywhere.

QCan I sign on mobile?

Yes. The drawing canvas is fully touch-enabled, so you can sign with your finger on iPhone, iPad, or any Android device.

QWhat is the difference between an electronic and a digital signature?

An electronic signature is any mark applied with intent to sign — legally valid for most purposes. A digital signature adds cryptographic proof of identity using a PKI certificate, required for regulated sectors like banking or government.
