About Sign PDF
Draw, type, or upload your signature and place it on any PDF. Free online PDF signing tool — sign contracts and documents without printing.
Start with a PDF that needs a visible signature, then draw, type, or upload a signature and place it on the page. That one review step matters more than it looks: wrong page order, missed ranges, sideways scans, and low-quality source files are the usual reasons people have to redo a PDF job.
The workflow is designed for browser-based processing where possible, so you can review the result before saving or sharing it. RashPDF returns a signed PDF, so your original file is not overwritten. The signature is added as visible content on the PDF page.
Afterward, open the downloaded file once. If it is ready, you can protect the signed PDF, share it by link, or merge it with attachments. This keeps the workflow natural: fix the document first, polish it second, and share it only after the final check.
