How do I sign a PDF without printing it?

Open FilesAll's Sign PDF tool and add your PDF. Type your name, pick a handwriting style, then tap a Sign tag or drag the signature where it belongs. Press Download and the signature becomes a permanent part of the page. The PDF stays in your browser on your own device and is never uploaded.

How to sign a PDF in 3 steps

  1. Add your PDF

    Press Choose files, or drag your PDF onto the page. FilesAll looks for signature lines and fields and marks them with a Sign tag.

  2. Make and place your signature

    Type your name and pick a handwriting style. Tap a Sign tag, or drag the signature anywhere and resize it. You can add the date too.

  3. Download the signed PDF

    Press Download. The signature is merged into the page, and your original file is not changed.

Frequently asked questions

Is a typed signature legally valid?

It is a simple electronic signature. In the US, Canada and the EU, simple e-signatures are generally accepted for everyday documents, like forms, agreements and permission slips. They are not enough for documents that need a notary, a witness or a certificate.

Does FilesAll check who is signing?

No. FilesAll does not verify identity. It places your signature on the page, the same way you would sign a printed copy.

Can I draw my signature instead of typing it?

A drawn signature is part of Pro, along with initials, more handwriting styles and saving your signature on your device. Typing your name with a choice of handwriting styles is free.

Can someone remove my signature from the PDF?

The signature is merged into the page when you download, so it is not a separate piece that can simply be lifted off or edited.

My PDF is a form with boxes to fill in. Can I do that too?

Yes. Use Fill and sign PDF to type into the form's boxes, tick checkboxes and add the date before you sign.

Is FilesAll free?

Yes. You can use FilesAll free every day without signing up, and the tool shows how many free files you have left today. A free account gives you more each day, and Pro removes the daily limit.

Do I need to install anything?

No. FilesAll works in the web browser you already have, on Windows, Mac, Chromebook, iPhone and Android. There is nothing to install, and you do not need an account to start.

Are my files uploaded?

No. FilesAll does all the work inside your browser, on your own device. Your files are never sent to our servers or anyone else's, and they disappear when you close the tab.

Want to check for yourself? Your browser's developer tools list every request this page makes. None of them carries your file.
