Why sign a PDF in your browser
Works on a phone or tablet
It runs in current mobile browsers, so you can sign on your phone with your finger. See how to sign a PDF on your phone.
Your document stays on your device
Contracts, tax forms, IDs and applications are the documents people hesitate to upload. EasyPDFPlay opens, edits and saves your PDF locally. You can confirm this by watching your browser’s network tab.
No sign-up, no watermark, no paywall
You do not create an account and the signed file carries no watermark. If you accept the “Remember your work?” prompt, a saved signature is stored in your own browser for next time.
Is an image signature legally binding?
What EasyPDFPlay places
An image of your signature on the page. It is not a certified or cryptographic digital signature.
Whether it is accepted
That depends on your country and the type of document. Some documents need witnesses, a notary or a qualified e-signature. Check the requirements for your document before relying on it. We do not provide legal advice.
What to know before you sign
- The signature is an image placed on the page, not a certified digital signature.
- EasyPDFPlay cannot send a document to other people to sign or keep an audit trail. It is for signing your own copy.
- It does not fill interactive form fields. Use Add text to type into a form; see how to fill out a PDF form online.
- Password-protected PDFs cannot be opened.
Frequently asked questions

Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no paywall on the signed file.
Is a signature added here legally binding?
EasyPDFPlay places an image of your signature on the page. That is not a certified digital signature, and its validity depends on your jurisdiction and the type of document. Check the requirements for your document before relying on it.
Can I sign a PDF on my phone?
Yes. It runs in current mobile browsers, and the signature box can be drawn with a finger or stylus. You can also type your name or upload an image of your signature.
Can I add the date next to my signature?
Yes. Use the Add text tool to type the date anywhere on the page. See how to add a date to a PDF.
Can I sign a scanned PDF?

Can I ask someone else to sign my document?
