Honest Limits

A visual signature, not a certified e-signature

This tool places a signature image onto your PDF, similar to signing a printed page. It does not provide identity verification, timestamped audit trails, or certificate-based signing. For documents that require a certified or legally audited signature, use a dedicated e-signature service.

FAQ

Sign PDF questions

How can I create a signature?

Type your name to generate a script-style signature, draw one with your mouse or finger, or upload an image of your signature.

Can I choose which page the signature goes on?

Yes. Enter a page number, or turn on “Apply signature to every page” to sign every page at once.

Is this a legally binding electronic signature?

This tool visually places a signature image onto your PDF. It does not provide identity verification, an audit trail, or certificate-based signing, so check whether your specific use case requires a certified e-signature service.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. Signing runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF and signature are never uploaded to a server, and nothing is stored.
