Visual signature vs. digital signature
This tool embeds an image of your handwritten signature into the PDF. It does not create a certificate-backed digital signature, identity verification, timestamp, or cryptographic tamper seal.
Add a handwritten signature image to a PDF
Use this tool when you need to place a drawn signature visibly onto a PDF. The document and signature drawing are processed in your browser.
How to use this tool
- Select the PDF you want to sign.
- Draw your signature and choose the page and position.
- Add the signature and download the new PDF copy.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a legally binding digital signature?
YourPDFs does not determine legal validity. This feature places a visible handwritten signature image in the PDF; it is not a certificate-backed digital-signature system.
Does the signature leave my device?
The signature canvas and PDF manipulation run in your browser and are not uploaded to a YourPDFs server.
Can I place the signature anywhere on the page?
This version offers bottom-left, bottom-center, and bottom-right placement on the last page, all pages, or a selected page.
Does this lock the PDF after signing?
No. The signature image is embedded into the PDF, but this tool does not encrypt or cryptographically lock the document.
