Sign PDFs in your browser. Draw, type, or upload a signature, save templates, drop date stamps and initials. No signup, no watermark, no upload.
Who Uses Sign PDF
Sign PDF skips the print-sign-scan loop: draw, type, or upload a signature once and drop it on any PDF. Who uses it: - **HR teams**: sign onboarding paperwork batched into a single PDF. - **Freelancers**: sign client SOWs from anywhere. - **Founders**: sign cap-table updates and term sheets without leaving the laptop. - **Tenants & landlords**: sign rental agreement renewals before sharing with brokers. - **School / college admissions**: sign admission forms and authorisation letters. - **NDA / contracts**: sign vendor agreements and employment offer letters. **Saved templates** make repeat signings instant: sign once, reuse across every document. Initials and date stamps handle the parts that need them. Because nothing uploads, the tool is safe for NDAs, salary letters, and any document that shouldn't leave your laptop.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Sign PDF tool actually free?
Yes - unlimited PDFs, no signup, no daily cap, no watermark on the signed output. Drawing, typing, uploading, saved templates, date stamps, and initials are all free.
Does my PDF or signature get uploaded anywhere?
No. pdf-lib loads, modifies, and re-saves your PDF entirely in your browser. Drawn strokes, typed signatures, uploaded images, and saved templates all live in your local browser only - they never touch a CleverTools server.
Can I draw, type, or upload my signature?
All three. Draw freehand with mouse or touch (Apple Pencil works great), type your name and pick a cursive / serif / monospace font, or upload an existing signature image (PNG with transparent background scans the cleanest).
Can I save my signature for next time?
Yes - save up to five signature templates locally. They persist in your browser's localStorage so they're available the next time you open the tool. Delete them any time.
What about initials and date stamps?
The Initials and date section takes initials like 'JS' and renders a small bold serif stamp for marking page corners. The 'Use today's date' button drops a `DD MMM YYYY` stamp ready to place beside your signature.
Is an electronic signature legally valid in India?
This tool places an image of your signature, like pasting a scan. It is not an electronic signature under section 3A of the IT Act 2000, which needs a reliable method listed in the Act's Second Schedule, such as eSign. Section 10A says a contract isn't unenforceable just because it was agreed electronically, so a signed PDF works where the other side accepts one. When a law, court or office asks for a digital signature, use a DSC or Aadhaar eSign. The IT Act doesn't cover wills, powers of attorney, trusts or property sale contracts.
Can I sign multiple pages of the same document?
Yes. Each placed signature, initials, or date stamp is tied to its page. Use the page navigator above the preview to move between pages and drop stamps on each one. Page-by-page list of placements lets you spot-check before saving.
What's the maximum file size?
Up to 50 MB per PDF. Because everything runs locally, the practical limit is your device's RAM - The signed output preserves the original PDF's quality (signatures are embedded as images; the page itself is not rasterised).
