Skip the print-sign-scan loop. Add a legally useful signature to a PDF in your browser.

ChangeMyPDF runs entirely in your browser — your files never leave your device, there's nothing to install, and you can start without an account. Here's exactly how to do it.

Step-by-step

  1. Open the Sign PDF tool and add your document.
  2. Draw, type, or upload your signature.
  3. Drag it to the right spot and resize.
  4. Download the signed PDF.

Tips for the best result

  • Draw with a trackpad or touchscreen for a natural look.
  • Add the date next to your signature with the text tool.

Is it safe and free?

Yes. Most ChangeMyPDF tools process files locally in your browser, so documents are never uploaded to a server. Free accounts can run a few operations per hour; a Week Pass or Premium plan removes the limit and ads if you need to do more.
