📖What is this tool?

Received a contract via email but don't have a printer? The old way of 'Print -> Sign -> Scan' is slow and ruins document quality. ConvertPilot's Add Signature tool allows you to sign PDF documents directly in your browser. Whether it's a freelance contract, a rental lease, or an employee offer letter, you can place your signature, initials, or date anywhere on the page instantly.

This tool is part of ConvertPilot's collection of free utilities designed to make your workflow simple, fast, and secure. Whether you're a professional or casual user, you'll find it easy to use with no learning curve.

🚀How to use it

Sign your document in 3 easy steps:

1

Upload Document

Select the PDF file you need to sign (e.g., Lease Agreement, W-9 Form).

2

Create Your Signature

You can draw your signature with your mouse/finger, type your name, or upload a photo of your wet signature.

3

Place and Save

Drag the signature to the correct line, resize it to fit, and click 'Download'. Your signed document is ready.
