Can I use a typed or image signature instead?

Yes. You can draw, type, or upload an image of your signature.

Sign PDFs Locally — Your Signature Never Hits a Server

E-signature services are convenient, but they hold a copy of your signed document on their servers — sometimes for years. OfflinePDF takes a different approach: you draw or type your signature in the browser, it's rendered onto your PDF using the Canvas API and pdf-lib, and the signed document downloads directly from browser memory. The signature data and the document content are never transmitted. No account, no stored document, no third party.

✍️ Freehand Signature

Draw your signature with a mouse or touchscreen using the signature pad. Adjust pen weight and colour.

📝 Text Annotations

Add typed text anywhere on the page — date, name, initials, or any label.

📍 Precise Placement

Position the signature or text box anywhere on any page using drag-and-drop.

🔐 Signature Stays Private

Your signature image and the document it's placed on are never uploaded. They exist only in your browser session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a legally binding e-signature?

That depends on jurisdiction and context. This tool creates a visual signature overlay. For legally binding signatures with audit trails, a dedicated e-signature service is required.

Can I use a touchscreen to sign?

Yes. The signature pad supports touch input, making it practical on tablets.

Can I sign multiple pages?

You can navigate to any page and place the signature there. For the same signature on every page, apply it to each page individually.
