THE BENCH · TOOL No. 06
Sign PDF
Sign a PDF on your phone or computer, without an account and without a subscription. Draw your signature with your finger, type it in a script style, or upload a picture of it, then place it on the page and download the signed file. It runs in your browser, with no upload and no sign-up.
Honest limits
- Your signature is drawn or typed and placed as an image on the page. That is right for most everyday paperwork, but it is not a certificate-based digital signature, and it does not prove who signed with a certificate.
- If a bank, a court, or a government office asks for a certificate-based signature, use their named service for that document.
How it works
- Choose the PDF you need to sign.
- Draw your signature, type it, or upload a picture of it.
- Drag it to the right spot on the page and size it to fit.
- Download the signed PDF.

Is this a digital signature?
It is a visual signature: your signature drawn or typed and placed as an image on the page. It is right for most everyday paperwork. It is not a certificate-based digital signature, which is a different, certificate-backed kind of signing.
Can I save my signature for next time?
Yes. You can save your signature on your own device, so it is there next time you sign. It is stored only on your device, never sent anywhere.
