To sign a PDF electronically for free, open the PDFEzy Sign PDF tool in your browser, upload your document, then create a signature by drawing, typing or uploading an image. Place it on the page, resize it to fit, and download your signed PDF. No printing, no software and no uploads.
Why sign a PDF electronically?
An electronic signature lets you complete contracts, forms and agreements without printing, signing by hand and scanning the page back in. It is faster, cleaner and works from any device.
Common uses include signing offer letters, rental agreements, consent forms, invoices and NDAs — all returned in minutes instead of days.
Step-by-step: e-sign a PDF in your browser
1. Open the Sign PDF tool
Go to the Sign PDF tool. It loads instantly in any modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari — with nothing to download.
2. Upload your PDF
Drag and drop your PDF onto the page, or click to browse and select it from your device. The document opens for preview right away.
3. Create your signature
Draw your signature with a mouse, trackpad or finger; type your name and pick a signature font; or upload an image of your handwritten signature. Choose whichever feels most natural.
4. Place and resize the signature
Click where you want the signature to appear, then drag it into position over the signature line and resize it until it fits neatly. You can add dates or initials the same way.
5. Download the signed PDF
Click download. PDFEzy embeds the signature into the document locally on your device and gives you a finished signed PDF to save or send.
Practical tips
For a clean look, draw your signature slowly or upload a high-contrast scan of your real signature on a white background. Keep a saved signature image handy so you can reuse it on future documents.
Electronic signatures are widely accepted and legally recognized in many countries, but requirements vary by document type. For high-stakes agreements, confirm the rules that apply in your jurisdiction. Need to combine the signed file with other pages first? Use the Merge PDF tool, or tweak text and fields with the Edit PDF tool before signing.
Is it private?
Yes. PDFEzy runs entirely in your browser using client-side code, so your document and signature are processed on your own device and never uploaded to a server. This is especially reassuring for sensitive contracts — when you close the tab, nothing remains.
