Sign a PDF Without Printing It

The print-sign-scan loop is the worst. You print a one-page contract, sign it, scan it back, the scan is crooked, you redo it. This page lets you sign in the browser and skip all of that.

Three ways to make a signature. Draw it with your mouse or touchscreen — works best on a phone or tablet. Upload an image of your signature you scanned once and want to reuse. Or type your name and pick a cursive font, which is less personal but legally valid in most places.

Drag the signature onto the right spot on the page. Resize it. Add a date next to it if needed. Most contracts have a small line that says "signature" — line up your signature with that. The signed PDF is yours to download or email back.
