Draw, type or upload your signature and place it on any page, with a date, initials or text — privately in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and your signature is not stored.
Use the focused tool, then carry originals and current settings into the editor.
Each mode retains its own session until reload. Batch keeps its settings and results when you switch modes. Nothing is saved automatically.
Some PDF content cannot be separated into editable objects. Those pages keep their original appearance as a page background; you can add content over them.
Open the four-page practice report, stay on Cover and click Create a signature. Choose Type and enter Practice Name, then use Place to put it in the blank area below the cover text.
Resize it without covering the heading, leave Every page off and click Sign PDF. Preview all four pages: the mark should appear only on Cover, at the position and size you chose.
This adds a visible electronic mark, without a certificate or identity verification. It does not make the PDF tamper-proof; confirm what kind of signature the recipient accepts before signing a real document.
Draw records your strokes on a pad at your screen's resolution and trims the empty space around them, so the signature you place is only the ink. Type writes your name in one of three handwriting styles bundled with the site (Caveat, Dancing Script and Great Vibes, open-licensed) and turns it into a picture, so accented and non-Latin letters appear exactly as typed. Upload opens any picture the site supports; with Remove white background on, paper and light backgrounds become transparent and only the darker ink is kept, which is what a photographed signature needs. Turn it off for a stamp or logo that should keep its background.
Everything you place is positioned relative to the page as you see it, so it lands in the same spot in the result at any zoom, and a scanned page that is stored sideways still gets the signature where you put it. Pictures keep their proportions when resized; a date or text scales its letters with its width. Every page repeats the item at the same place on all pages — the usual way to initial a contract.
Items are drawn into the pages in place, not copied into a new document, so text, pictures, links, bookmarks, annotations, editable form fields and document metadata stay as they are. Dates and text in Latin letters are written as real text in Helvetica; other scripts are drawn as a sharp picture. Empty signature fields in a form are left in place — put your signature over them. If the PDF has form fields, Lock form fields makes their answers read-only page content; someone with a PDF editor can still alter that content. Encrypted PDFs (remove the password with Unlock PDF first), XFA forms and documents that already carry a digital signature or certification are refused, because rewriting them would break the encryption or invalidate the existing signature.
No. Opening, previewing, drawing and signing happen in your browser. The PDF, your drawn strokes, your typed name and any picture you choose are not sent to Toolkitta, and they are not written to storage on your device either: they live in this tab until you reload or close it. Website hosting and performance measurement are described in our Privacy notice.
Add the PDF, click Create a signature and draw, type or upload it, then place it on the signature line and click Sign PDF. That is an electronic signature (e-signature) made entirely in your browser; see below for how it differs from a certificate-based digital signature.
Acceptance depends on the document, recipient and applicable requirements. This tool adds a visible electronic mark; it does not verify your identity, issue a certificate or certify legal validity. Ask the recipient which signing method they accept before using it for a real agreement.
An electronic signature is a mark you place on the page — drawn, typed or a picture. A digital signature is cryptographic: a certificate issued to you signs the file so a reader can verify who signed and that nothing changed since. This tool makes the first kind. It cannot create the second, because that needs a certificate and a signing key that identify you; it does not claim to.
Yes. Draw with your finger on the pad, or type your name. Placed items can be dragged with a finger and resized from the corner. On small screens the page fills the width of the studio; use the page strip or page number field to jump to the right page.
Yes. Initials places a small copy of a signature; switch on Every page to repeat it on all pages. Date adds today's date in your device's format, editable. Text adds a short line — a name, place or title — up to 80 characters. Latin text is written as real text; other scripts are drawn as a sharp picture so they look exactly as typed.
Sign your copy and pass the signed file on; the next person opens it here and adds their signature the same way. Each signing creates a new file, so keep the copy you sent. If someone in the chain applies a certificate-based digital signature, later signers will have to use the same kind of tool, because this one refuses documents that already carry one.
Yes. Send the result to Protect PDF to add a password or block editing, or to Compress PDF to shrink a scanned contract before emailing it. Remember that a password protects the file; it does not turn the signature into a digital one.
Encrypted or password-protected PDFs (remove the password with Unlock PDF first), XFA forms and documents that already carry a digital signature or certification are refused with an explanation, because rewriting them would break the encryption or invalidate the existing signature. Empty signature fields are fine. Everything else is kept: items are drawn in place, so text, pictures, links, bookmarks, annotations, editable form fields and metadata remain, unless you switch on Lock form fields, which turns the answers into page content. This is not a redaction, metadata-removal or signature-removal tool.
