How to sign a PDF

To sign a PDF, open it above, draw your signature with a mouse, trackpad or finger, then drag it onto the signature line and download. Nothing is printed, scanned or uploaded — the signature is drawn and embedded on your own device, which is why it suits contracts you would rather not hand to a third-party server. Free for 3 documents a day, no sign-up, no watermark.

A free PDF signature your documents never have to leave home for

DoceasePDF signs your PDF entirely in your browser. Unlike e-sign services that store your contract on their servers, the document never leaves your device — you draw a signature, place it, and download the signed file.

No account, no per-document fees, no watermark over your signature. It works for leases, offer letters, permission slips, invoices — any PDF with a line waiting for your name.

Need to fill in the rest of the form too? The same editor adds text for dates and names, whites out mistakes, and merges extra pages before you download.

Continue your PDF workflow: Add Text to PDF Type the date and your printed name too., White Out PDF Fix a field before signing. or Annotate PDF Mark anything the other party must complete.

A free PDF signature without a subscription

E-signature platforms are built around monthly plans, per-envelope pricing and sender workflows. When you just need to put your own signature on a document someone sent you, that's overkill. DoceasePDF signs PDFs free: draw your signature, place it, download — no account, no envelope limits, no counterparty needing to join a platform.

There's also a privacy difference: e-sign services store your contract on their servers as part of the workflow. Here the document never leaves your device — there is no copy of your lease, offer letter or signature sitting in someone else's cloud.

Sign a PDF on your phone

Signature requests never arrive when you're at a desk. Open the PDF in your phone's browser, tap Sign, draw your signature with your finger, drag it onto the line and download — the signed copy is back in your email in under a minute.

Frequently asked questions

How do I sign a PDF without printing it?

Open the PDF in the tool above, click “Sign”, draw your signature and drag it onto the signature line. Click Download and send the signed file back — no printer or scanner involved.

Is signing a PDF here legally binding?

In many jurisdictions a drawn electronic signature is accepted for everyday agreements, but requirements vary by country and document type. For regulated documents, check what form of e-signature the recipient requires.

Is my document uploaded to a server?

No. Signing happens in your browser using WebAssembly — the contract never leaves your device, so there's no copy of it (or your signature) on anyone's server.

Can I add the date and my name too?

Yes. Use “Add text” in the same toolbar to type the date, your printed name or any other field, then download once everything is in place.

Can I add my initials or sign in several places?

Yes. Use the Sign tool as many times as the document needs — each signature is placed, moved and resized independently.

Do I need the other party to use DoceasePDF too?

No. The signature is flattened into a standard PDF, so the recipient just opens the file in any reader — nothing to join, nothing to install.

Can I type my name instead of drawing a signature?

Yes — use Add text to type your name and the date next to the drawn signature, which is exactly what most forms ask for.
