About the Sign PDF

Electronic signatures have clear legal standing on both sides of the Atlantic. In the United States the ESIGN Act of 2000 and state UETA adoptions give them the same effect as ink for most commercial agreements, and in the United Kingdom the Law Commission confirmed in 2019 that a simple electronic signature can execute most contracts.

This tool lets you draw your signature, choose the page and the position, and stamp it into the document — all inside your browser, so an unsigned agreement never gets uploaded anywhere. What it produces is a simple electronic signature: an image of your mark placed in the file. That is sufficient for a great many everyday agreements but is not the same thing as a certificate-based digital signature.

It's part of the PDF collection on Toolzy, a growing platform of 135+ free, privacy-first tools built for speed and a great experience on every device.

Also known as: signature, esign, sign, document.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a signature made this way legally binding?
In many everyday commercial contexts, yes. US law under ESIGN and UETA, and UK law as confirmed by the Law Commission in 2019, generally recognise simple electronic signatures for contract execution. Certain documents — deeds, wills, some property and cross-border instruments — carry additional formalities such as witnessing. When the stakes are significant, take legal advice on the requirements for your specific document.
Is this a certificate-based digital signature?
No. This places a visual signature image into the document. It does not attach a cryptographic identity certificate and will not show as a verified digital signature in Adobe Acrobat. Where a counterparty or regulator specifically requires a qualified or advanced electronic signature, you need a certificate-based service instead.
Where can I place the signature?
On any page in the document, positioned bottom left, bottom centre or bottom right. You choose both before applying it.
Is my unsigned contract uploaded to sign it?
No. The signature is drawn and embedded entirely in your browser. The agreement never leaves your device, which is exactly the property you want when handling an unexecuted contract.
Is my data private?
The Sign PDF runs entirely inside your browser. Your file is never uploaded, so there is nothing for us to store, log or delete, your data stays on your device from start to finish.
