Sign PDF online features

• 01

  Full PDF preview, page by page

  Every page is rendered inside the tool so you can see the contract while you sign. Scroll through the document and drop a signature exactly where it's needed — no more printing, scanning or guessing coordinates.

• 02

  Draw or type your signature

  Sign with your mouse, trackpad, stylus or finger — or type your name and pick a cursive, italic or typewriter style. Resize, reposition and duplicate the signature across pages with a click.

• 03

  100% private — nothing uploaded

  The PDF is parsed, previewed and re-signed entirely in your browser using PDF.js and pdf-lib. Your document never touches a server, so even confidential agreements are safe to sign here.

Sign PDF online FAQ

How do I sign a PDF online for free?

Drop your PDF into this page, draw or type your signature in the sidebar, then drag the signature onto the exact spot on the page. Click "Sign & download" and a signed PDF is saved to your device — no account, no watermark.

Is my document uploaded anywhere when I sign it?

No. The entire signing process — loading, previewing, signing and exporting — runs in your browser. Handytool never sees the file. You can verify this by going offline after the PDF loads; signing still works.

Can I place the signature on any page, not just the last one?

Yes. The preview shows every page. Click any page to focus it, add a signature, and drag it anywhere — multiple signatures on multiple pages are supported. You can also apply one signature to every page with a single click.

Can I type my name instead of drawing a signature?

Yes. Switch to the Type tab, enter your name, and choose a cursive, italic or typewriter style. The typed signature is rendered as an image with a transparent background and embedded in the PDF just like a drawn one.

Is a signed PDF legally valid?

For everyday use — contracts, internal approvals, NDAs, forms — a drawn or typed signature placed on a PDF is widely accepted as an electronic signature. For documents that require qualified e-signatures by law (like some government filings), use a regulated e-signature provider.

Does the tool work on phones and tablets?

Yes. The canvas and overlay use pointer events, so you can draw and reposition signatures with a finger or stylus on iOS and Android. Tap a page to focus it, then drag your signature into place.
