Sign a PDF online, free
Add a simple electronic signature mark to a PDF — draw it with your mouse or finger, or upload a signature image. There is no account to create and nothing to install; everything runs in your browser.
Why this is useful
The old way to sign a PDF is to print it, sign with a pen, then scan it back in — or to install desktop software just for one signature. LocalSign skips all of that: you draw or upload a signature once and place it directly on the page. It is free, needs no signup, and works the same on Windows, Mac, Chromebook, and phones.
How to use it
- Open the editor and choose your PDF (or try the sample PDF).
- Click Signature to draw with your mouse or finger, or upload a signature image.
- Drag and resize the signature exactly where it belongs.
- Add a date or text if you need it, then download your signed PDF.
Features
- Draw a signature, type it, or upload a PNG/JPG signature image.
- Place it on any page and resize it precisely.
- Add a date and short text next to the signature.
- Free, no signup, no watermark, no install.
Good to know
- LocalSign places a simple electronic signature mark only.
- It does not verify identity, certify documents, or guarantee legal validity.
