How to draw, type, or upload a signature for PDF

Follow the supported controls

1. Choose the PDF and select a signature-creation method.
2. Create the artwork and inspect its edges and background; use a transparent PNG when suitable.
3. Choose the target page, position and resize the mark without covering printed names or instructions.
4. Download and reopen the copy to check placement, including any rotated or cropped page.

Choose artwork that remains readable

Typing produces a clean text-based mark, drawing reflects the input surface and an uploaded image can reuse an existing signature image. A JPG may include a white rectangular background, while a transparent PNG can fit a coloured form more naturally. None of these methods verifies identity or creates cryptographic document integrity.

Distinguish signing on a phone from phone handoff

You can use the tool directly on the phone. The optional handoff instead lets a desktop session receive temporary signature PNG artwork from a paired phone; the PDF stays in the originating browser. Keep the relevant tabs active until the artwork arrives, and inspect the returned mark before placing it. The tool does not verify identity or create certificate-backed signing.
