What is an electronic signature?
An electronic signature (or e-signature) is a digital mark placed on a document to indicate the signer's agreement or approval. It can take many forms — a drawn signature using a mouse or trackpad, a typed name rendered in a script font, or an uploaded image of your handwritten signature. Electronic signatures are legally recognized in most countries under laws like the U.S. ESIGN Act, UETA, and the EU's eIDAS regulation, making them a valid and efficient alternative to wet-ink signatures for most business documents.
Freelancers, small business owners, creators, and professionals use electronic signatures to sign contracts, NDAs, proposals, agreements, and other documents without printing, scanning, or mailing paper. Whether you need to countersign a brand deal contract, execute a freelance agreement, or approve a project proposal, e-signing saves time and eliminates the hassle of physical paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this create a legally binding signature?
This tool creates an electronic signature by embedding your signature image into the PDF. Electronic signatures are legally binding in most jurisdictions under laws like the U.S. ESIGN Act and EU eIDAS regulation. Consult a legal professional for high-stakes documents.
What signature methods are supported?
Three methods: draw your signature with a mouse or trackpad, type your name and choose from script fonts, or upload an image of your handwritten signature (PNG with transparent background recommended).
Can I sign multiple pages in the same document?
Yes. Navigate between pages using the toolbar and place signatures, initials, dates, and text fields on any page. All fields are saved and embedded when you download.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. Your PDF is processed entirely in your browser using pdf-lib and pdfjs-dist. The file never leaves your device — this is the most private way to sign documents online.
What's the maximum file size?
10 MB. Most contracts, NDAs, and agreements are well under this limit. If your PDF is larger, try compressing it first with a PDF optimizer.
Can I add initials and dates alongside my signature?
Yes. The toolbar includes separate tools for Signature, Initials, Date (with format options), and freeform Text. Place as many of each as you need anywhere on the document.
