Sign a PDF without uploading it
You can place a signature on a PDF without sending it to any server. LocalSign lets you draw a signature with your mouse or finger (or upload a signature image) and position it on the page, all in your browser.
Why this is useful
A signature usually goes on something sensitive — an agreement, a consent form, an HR document. Uploading both the document and your signature image to a third-party site means two pieces of personal data leave your control. Signing locally keeps the file and the signature on your device. To be clear about scope: this places a simple electronic signature mark and is not a certified or identity-verified signature.
How to use it
- Open the editor and choose your PDF.
- Click Signature, then draw your signature or upload a signature image.
- Drag and resize the signature onto the right spot.
- Download the signed PDF — nothing was uploaded.
Good to know
- Places a simple electronic signature mark only — no identity verification.
- Not a certified/qualified digital signature (DSC), Aadhaar eSign, or notarization.
- It does not guarantee the legal validity of any document.
