Sign a PDF
eSign a PDF online
Upload a PDF, add a signature field, and sign it yourself or send it to someone else, free for occasional use. No printing, no scanning.
1
Upload your PDF
Sign in or create a free account, then upload the PDF you need signed: a contract, a form, an agreement.
2
Place a signature field
Drag a signature field onto the page for yourself, or for whoever else needs to sign.
3
Sign or send
Sign it yourself right there, or send it to someone else's inbox as a private signing link. Either way, done in under a minute.
What to include
Free PDF-signing tools like Smallpdf, iLovePDF, or Sejda are great for eSigning your own document once, with no account. Sign is built for something slightly different: sending a document to someone else and knowing whether they've actually signed it.
- Multi-party signing. send to someone else's inbox and get notified the moment they sign, not just sign your own copy.
- A full audit trail. every view, consent, and signature is timestamped and logged, which most one-off PDF tools don't keep.
- Reminders. envelopes that go untouched for a few days get an automatic reminder, or nudge someone yourself.
- A dashboard. track every document you've ever sent, not just the one you just signed.
Questions
Do I need to create an account to sign a PDF?
Yes, a free account, unlike some single-use signing tools. It takes under a minute and gets you an audit trail, reminders, and a dashboard for every document you send, not just this one.
Is the free plan actually free, or a trial?
Free permanently: 3 envelopes a month, no card required. Starter ($8/mo) covers 25 a month, Business ($19/mo) is unlimited.
What's the difference between this and tools like Smallpdf or iLovePDF?
Those are great for signing your own PDF once, with no account needed. Sign is built for sending a document to someone else and tracking whether they've signed it, with a full audit trail and reminders built in.
Can I sign a PDF without printing it?
Yes. Draw your signature with a mouse or finger, type it, or upload an image. Nothing gets printed or scanned.
