What is Add Signature to PDF?

This tool lets you place your signature exactly where it needs to go on a PDF document, without printing, signing by hand, and re-scanning. You upload the PDF, upload an image of your signature, and drag it directly onto a live preview of the page until it sits perfectly over the signature line - then download the finished, signed document.

Unlike simple "stamp" tools that add a signature at a fixed position, this editor shows you the actual page so you can position and resize the signature visually, page by page, for multi-page documents like agreements, consent forms, and applications.

Step-by-Step Guide

1Upload your PDF

Choose the PDF document you need to sign. This loads a live page preview in the editor.

2Upload your signature image

Add a PNG or JPG of your signature. A transparent PNG (background removed) gives the cleanest result.

3Navigate to the right page and position it

Use the page controls to find the correct page, then drag the signature directly over the signature line and resize it using the size slider.

4Add signature and download

Click "Add Signature" to finalize the placement, then download the signed PDF.

Tip: If your signature photo has a white background, run it through the Signature Background Remover first - a transparent PNG signature looks far more natural on the document than a white box.
Note: The blue outline shown while positioning the signature is only an editing guide in the preview - it is not included in the final downloaded PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a signature added this way legally valid?
Placing a signature image on a PDF creates a visual signature, similar to signing a printed copy and scanning it. It is not a certified digital signature (like a DSC used for official e-filings). Check your specific form's requirements to see if a visual signature is acceptable.
What image format should my signature be?
A transparent PNG gives the cleanest result because only the handwriting is visible, with no white box around it. If your signature photo has a white background, use the Signature Background Remover tool first to make it transparent.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. Both the PDF and your signature image are processed entirely in your browser. Neither file is uploaded to PDF Vault or any other server.
Can I sign a multi-page PDF on a specific page?
Yes. Use the page navigation controls in the editor to move to the exact page that needs a signature before dragging it into position.
