Sign a PDF exactly where the signature belongs
Type, draw, or upload your signature, position it on the page, and download a self-signed copy without creating an account.
The self-signing workflow creates a visual signature from typed text, freehand drawing, or an uploaded image. You control its exact page position and size before it is flattened into the downloaded PDF for consistent display.
