Three ways to sign
Draw it, type your name in a script style, or upload a photo of your signature.
Place it exactly
Press where it should go, and set the width with the slider.
A picture of a signature
This adds a visible signature. It isn't a certified digital signature, and it doesn't verify who signed.
Getting a clean signature
- Draw slowly and large. It's scaled down when placed.
- If you upload a photo, use dark ink on plain white paper.
- A PNG with a transparent background looks best on forms with lines.
Signing a document step by step
Our guide on signing a PDF without printing explains each method. In short, use Draw for a natural look, Type when you don't have a touch screen, and Upload for the signature you already use on paper.
Electronic and digital signatures
Many everyday forms accept a visible signature, but courts, banks and government offices may have stricter rules. If you're unsure, ask whoever requested your signature.
| Type | What it is | Available here? |
|---|---|---|
| A visible signature | A picture or typed name on the page | Yes |
| A certified digital signature | A cryptographic seal from a certificate provider, which shows who signed and whether the file changed later | No |
