Is this a legally valid electronic signature?

It is a visual signature: an image of your handwriting placed on the page, like signing on paper and scanning it. Many jurisdictions accept that for ordinary agreements, but it is not a certificate-based digital signature, and a form or portal that requires one will say so. If in doubt, ask the person receiving the document what they need.

Can I remove the white background from a photo of my signature?

Yes, and it is on from the start: under the image option, “Remove the white background” turns the paper transparent, leaving only the ink, so the signature sits cleanly on the page instead of pasting a white rectangle over it.

Can I sign every page, or add initials as well?

Yes. “Place on every page” copies the signature at the same spot on all pages, and you can make a second signature — your initials, for example — and place it wherever it belongs. Each placement can be moved and resized separately.

Sign a PDF: add your signature to any page

Runs on your device · Your file never leaves your device.

A contract arrives by email, a school form needs a parent’s signature, a landlord wants the lease back today. Instead of printing, signing and scanning, make your signature here — draw it with a finger or mouse, type your name in a handwriting style, or use a photo of the signature you already have — then drag it exactly where the page asks for it and download the signed PDF.

You can resize the signature from its corner, add it to one page or every page, place initials as a second signature, and add today’s date and your name or title underneath. The signature is drawn into the page content, so it prints and opens the same in every reader and cannot be dragged off later.

Be clear about what this is: a visual signature, the electronic equivalent of pen on paper. That is what most forms, applications and everyday contracts ask for. It is not a certificate-based digital signature, so a system that verifies a signing certificate will not treat it as one. And because it all happens in your browser, the contract and your signature never leave your device.

Not for: Certificate-based digital signatures — this places a picture of your signature, which a certificate-verifying system does not check.

Drawing, typing or using a photo

A drawn signature follows the speed of your hand: slow strokes come out thicker and quick ones thinner, as with a pen. Undo removes the last stroke, and switching between black and blue recolours what you have already drawn.

The three typed styles use handwriting fonts already installed on your device, so a style can look different on a phone and on a computer. The name is turned into a picture, so any script your device can display, such as Arabic, Hindi or Chinese, can be typed.

A photo can be PNG, JPG or an iPhone HEIC picture, which is converted on your device first. Pictures larger than 1,600 pixels on the longest side are scaled down. Remove the white background is on from the start: near-white pixels become transparent, light grey ones partly transparent, and darker marks stay. A grey shadow or ruled lines can remain, so photograph the signature on plain white paper in even light.

Adding the date, a name or initials

The name or title and today's date are written under the signature, centred, in the same ink, as part of the same picture. The date is written with the month as a word, in the language of the page, so it cannot be misread: October 11, 2026 on the English page, 11. Oktober 2026 on the German one. The Persian page uses the Persian calendar.

Every signature you make stays in the list, so you can make your full signature and your initials once and place each one where it belongs.

Placing and resizing

A new signature appears near the bottom right of the page you are viewing, 30% of the page wide. Drag it to move it and pull the round handle at its corner to resize it; the proportions are kept and it cannot leave the page. With a keyboard, the arrow keys move it by 1% of the page, or 5% with Shift. Place on every page copies the selected signature to the same spot, measured as a share of each page, and the picture is stored only once in the file however many pages carry it.

What the signed file is

The signature is drawn into each page inside its visible area, the right way up even on rotated pages. A PDF that only restricts editing or printing opens without asking; one that needs a password to open asks for it, and the password is remembered for that file while the tab stays open. Either way, the signed copy has no password. The whole file is written anew, so a certificate-based digital signature already in the PDF will no longer verify.
