Three ways to create a visible signature
Choose the input that works best on your device. Each method produces a movable signature image inside the PDF.
Draw a signature
Use a mouse, stylus, or finger. Clear the canvas and redraw until the mark is legible.
Type your name
Create a script-style visible mark when drawing is inconvenient. Confirm that typed signatures are acceptable for the document.
Upload a signature image
Choose a PNG, JPEG, or WebP up to 8 MB. The browser trims the image and removes near-white background pixels before placement.
Keep the signature local
The source PDF, drawing, typed mark, and uploaded signature image stay in the browser during this workflow.
Questions about adding a signature to PDF
Check the difference between a visible mark and certificate-backed signing before sharing an important document.
Can I add a signature to a PDF for free?
Yes. EditPDFly lets you add visible signatures without an account or watermark. One PDF can be up to 20 MB, and processing stays in your browser.
Does EditPDFly store my PDF or signature?
No. This signing workflow runs locally in your browser. The PDF and signature are not uploaded to EditPDFly servers, and the signature is not stored after you leave or refresh the page.
Can I draw, type, or upload my signature?
Yes. Draw with a mouse, pen, or touch input, type a name in a script style, or upload a PNG, JPEG, or WebP image. Uploaded images are converted to a transparent PNG in the browser.
Is a visible signature the same as a digital signature?
No. A visible signature is a mark placed on a page. A certificate-backed digital signature can verify identity and reveal later changes. EditPDFly does not create certificates, identity checks, or audit trails.
Will adding a signature preserve an existing digital signature?
Do not assume it will. Changing a signed PDF can invalidate its existing certificate status. Keep the original and use the signing method required by the recipient.
