Is an image signature acceptable?
For many everyday documents an electronic signature, including a drawn one, is accepted, but rules differ by country and document type. Some contracts, government forms and regulated documents require a specific signing process or certificate. Check with the recipient if in doubt.
Keeping your signature private
Your signature is drawn and kept in your browser memory only for the current session. It is not uploaded or stored, and it disappears when you close the page.
Private by design
Sign PDF runs as code inside your browser tab. The file you choose is read from your device and the result is built on your device, so it is not sent to our servers or anyone else's. You can confirm this by watching the Network tab in your browser's developer tools while you use the tool.

Is this a legally binding signature?
That depends on your jurisdiction and the document. This tool does not provide identity verification or an audit trail.
