How to sign a PDF online

1. Upload your PDF

Drag and drop the document you need to sign. Files up to 1MB are supported on the free plan.

2. Add your signature

Type your name, draw a signature with your mouse or trackpad, or upload an image of your signature. Drag it onto the page and resize it to fit.

3. Download the signed PDF

Save your signed document instantly. No email, no account, and no watermark added to the file.

Sign a PDF without printing or scanning

Someone sends you a contract, a lease, or an onboarding form that needs your signature. Printing it, signing by hand, and scanning it back is slow and needs a printer you may not have.

PainlessPDF lets you sign any PDF directly in your browser. Add your signature once and place it on a contract, an invoice approval, a job application, or initial every page of a legal document.

Free, with no software to install

There is nothing to download and no Adobe Acrobat licence to buy. The signing tool runs in your browser, so it works the same on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chromebook.

You never need to create an account or enter a credit card to sign a PDF. Free access is here to stay.

How your file is handled

Your document is processed only to carry out the signing you requested. Files are protected with TLS in transit, and document contents are not retained after the operation is complete.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. You can sign PDFs for free with no trial period, no watermark, and no account required.
