Create your signature once by drawing it with a mouse or finger, typing your name in a handwriting style, or uploading a photo of your signature. It is saved on your device so you can reuse it on the next document.
Place the signature, your initials and the date anywhere on the page, resize it, and download the signed PDF. For a signature that also locks the document against changes, use e-Sign PDF or DSC signing.
How to sign PDF
- Choose the PDF to sign.
- Click Signature on the Fill & Sign tab and draw, type or upload your signature.
- Place it on the page, add the date if needed, and save.
Private by design
Most online PDF sites upload your file to their server. AK Smarts PDF opens and processes it inside your own browser, on your computer or phone, so salary slips, bank statements, Aadhaar and PAN copies, and contracts never leave your device. It works on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone, and you can install it like an app to open PDFs with a double-click.
Questions
Is a drawn signature legally valid?
A drawn signature on a PDF is accepted for many everyday documents. For documents that need proof of who signed and that nothing changed later, use e-Sign or a DSC.
Is my signature uploaded?
No. It is stored only in your browser on this device.
Can I sign on my phone?
Yes. Open this page on your phone and draw your signature with your finger.
Is AK Smarts PDF safe for confidential files?
Yes. Files are opened and processed on your own computer or phone and are never uploaded to our server. Only e-Sign sends a short fingerprint of the document, never the document itself.
Does Sign PDF work on my phone?
Yes. AK Smarts PDF works in Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox on Android, iPhone, Windows and Mac. You can also install it like an app.
