Drawing or typing a signature and placing it on the PDF directly turns a 20-minute chore into a one-minute task, from any device. ### A reusable transparent signature Exporting your signature as a transparent PNG means you can reuse it anywhere — other documents, image editors, email footers — without a white box around it. Create it once and keep it handy. ### Your documents never leave your device Signing often involves sensitive contracts and personal details. Because both the signature and the PDF are handled in your browser, nothing is uploaded, so your paperwork stays entirely private. ## FAQ ### How do I sign a PDF online for free? Create your signature by drawing or typing it, upload the PDF you need to sign, choose the page, then drag your signature to the right spot and resize it. Click 'Sign & Download' to get the finished PDF. Everything happens locally in your browser. ### Is it legal to sign documents this way? In many countries, a typed or drawn electronic signature is legally valid for common agreements (this varies by jurisdiction and document type). For high-stakes legal documents, check your local e-signature laws and whether a certified/qualified signature is required. ### Are my documents uploaded to a server? No. The signature canvas and PDF signing both run entirely in your browser using local processing. Your signature and document are never uploaded, stored, or transmitted anywhere. ### Can I use my signature elsewhere? Yes. Export your signature as a transparent PNG and reuse it in other apps, email signatures, contracts, or image editors. ### Are my documents uploaded to sign them? No. The signature and the PDF are processed in your browser; the signed file is generated locally and never transmitted. ### Can I reuse my signature elsewhere? Yes — export it as a transparent PNG and drop it into any other document or app. --- ToolNova — free, privacy-first browser tools. Most tools process data locally on your device.
