A simple e-signature, not a certified one

PDFWrangle places an image of your signature on the page. It does not add a digital certificate, identity check or audit trail, so it isn't a certified or qualified signature. That's fine for most everyday paperwork, such as forms, letters and many agreements. If a document must be signed with a certificate-based or qualified signature, use a provider that offers one.

Draw or type

Draw with a mouse, trackpad, finger or stylus; a touchscreen gives the most natural result. Or type your name (or your initials) and pick one of six handwriting fonts. Choose an ink color, and adjust the stroke thickness when drawing.

Frequently asked questions

Is a signature added this way legally binding?

In many places a simple electronic signature is valid for everyday documents. In the US, the ESIGN Act says a signature can't be denied legal effect just because it's electronic, and the EU's eIDAS Regulation says the same for electronic signatures in court. Some documents, such as wills, have extra requirements, so check the rules for yours.

Can I sign more than one page?

Yes. Place your signature on one page and download, then open the signed file again and sign the next page.

Can I sign a password-protected PDF?

Unlock it first with Unlock PDF using the password you already have, then sign the unlocked copy.

Is my signature or PDF uploaded?

No. Your signature is created and placed on the PDF inside your browser, and nothing is sent to a server.
