How to use this tool
- Drop in a PDF.
- Draw your signature with your mouse/finger, or type your name for a script-style signature.
- Click "Place on page," drag it into position, and adjust the size.
- Click "Sign PDF" to flatten it in and download.
Common mistakes to avoid
- This isn't a certificate-based, legally binding e-signature — for contracts that need to hold up legally, use a dedicated e-signature service instead.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my PDF or signature uploaded anywhere?
- No — the signature is drawn or typed, positioned, and flattened into the PDF entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
- Is this a legally binding e-signature?
- This tool visually places a signature image onto your PDF — it doesn't provide the identity verification, audit trail, or certificate-based signing that legally binding e-signature services offer. For informal documents it's often enough; for contracts that need to hold up legally, use a dedicated e-signature service.
- Can I sign more than one page?
- Yes — navigate to a different page with Prev/Next before placing your signature, and repeat as needed before saving.
How GetByteRush compares
Most free tools for this online work the same way: you upload your file to their server, wait, then download the result — which means your file (and often your email, for a "free" account) sits on someone else's infrastructure. Here's the actual difference:
| Feature | GetByteRush | Typical online tools |
|---|---|---|
| PDF ever leaves your device | No — signed in this tab | Yes, uploaded to process |
| Account required | Never | Often, past a certain usage level |
("Typical online tools" reflects publicly documented behavior of common free file-processing sites as of 2026 — always check a specific competitor's own privacy policy and pricing page, since these details change.)
