Add your signature to any PDF without printing, scanning, or fuss.
Got a PDF you need to sign? You do not need to print it, sign it with a pen, and scan it back. Do it digitally in seconds right in your browser.
Printing a document just to sign it, then scanning it back in — that is the old way of doing things. And desktop PDF signing tools? Either they cost a fortune, or they are enterprise software that is way more than you need. With an online signing tool, you draw your signature, place it, done. No printer, no scanner, no monthly fee. With PDFNeo, it all happens locally in your browser too. Your signature and your document never get uploaded to a server. That is huge for privacy — your signature is literally your identity. The last thing you want is to send it to some random company's server to be stored who-knows-where. And it is completely free. No trial limits, no watermarks, no sign up. Just signing that works on any device with a browser.
Signing contracts and agreements. Someone sent you a contract, NDA, or agreement to sign. Do it digitally — way faster than printing and scanning, and it looks just as professional.
Signing forms and applications. Job applications, bank forms, government documents — they all come as PDFs these days. Sign digitally and email it back. Save a trip to the printer.
Approving documents for work. You need to approve a report, sign off on a project, or indicate review on a document. Add your signature and the date, send it back. Done in 30 seconds.
Signing personal paperwork. Tax forms, medical consent, rental agreements — life throws a lot of paperwork at you. Digital signing saves you from having to keep a printer around just for the occasional document.
Draw your signature at a comfortable size. The signature tool lets you draw freehand. Draw it nice and big in the signature pad, then resize it on the page. A bigger drawing gives you more detail and looks cleaner when scaled down.
Use a stylus if you have one. Drawing with a mouse works, but a stylus on a tablet gives you much more natural-looking signatures. If you are on a phone with your finger, go slow and steady for best results.
Place it where it belongs — on the signature line, right alignment, proper size. Nothing looks less professional than a signature floating in the middle of nowhere. Line it up with the signature line, match the size to the printed text, and align it properly.
Save a copy of the unsigned original. Once you add a signature and download, it is baked into the PDF. Keep the unsigned version in case you need to send it to someone else to sign, or if you mess up the placement.
In most cases, yes. Many countries and organizations recognize electronic signatures as legally valid. However, for very formal or high-stakes documents, check with your legal requirements — some situations call for certified digital signatures with specific verification.
The tool lets you draw your signature freehand. For a typed signature, you could use the edit PDF tool to add text in a script-style font. Drawing generally looks more authentic.
No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your signature is not saved on any server, not stored in any database, not used for anything. Close the tab and it is gone.
Absolutely. After placing your signature, you can use the edit tool to add text — your printed name, the date, a title, whatever you need. The edit tool handles text additions perfectly.
Unless they are specifically checking for it, probably not. A well-placed hand-drawn signature looks just like a scanned signature to the naked eye. For formal purposes, you may want to check if digital signatures are acceptable.
Yes! On mobile, just use your finger to draw your signature on the touchscreen. It works great, and drawing with your finger can actually feel more natural than using a mouse.
100 percent free. No sign up, no watermarks, no document limits, no trial. Just a PDF signing tool that works in your browser.
