What is a visual signature?

A visual signature is an image of your signature placed on a PDF document. It appears as a visible mark on the document but does not include cryptographic authentication. This tool creates appearance-based signatures suitable for most everyday documents.

Is this a digital signature?

No, this tool creates visual (appearance-based) signatures, not cryptographic digital signatures. Visual signatures are perfect for most documents like forms and agreements. For legally-binding digital signatures with certificate authentication (PKI), we offer a separate Digital Signature tool.

What signature methods are available?

You can create signatures three ways: 1) Draw your signature with mouse or touch, 2) Upload an image of your signature (PNG/JPG), or 3) Type your name and convert it to a signature style. All methods create a PNG signature image that's placed on your PDF.

Can I sign multiple pages?

Yes! You can apply your signature to the current page, all pages, or a specific range of pages. Choose your signing mode in the settings panel. Each placement can be customized with different sizes, rotations, and positions.
