Sign a PDF without printing
Sign PDFs entirely online — no printer, no scanner, no hassle. Drop the PDF, drop your signature, click to place. Free.
The print-sign-scan loop is one of the great wastes of office life: print a PDF (using a printer that's almost out of toner), sign it with a pen (whose ink will smudge if you breathe wrong), scan it back in (using a scanner with finicky software), then email a 30 MB sideways scan to the counterparty. PDFOnly skips the entire loop. Drop the PDF, drop a PNG of your signature (one-time setup: sign on paper, photograph, remove background), click to place on the signature line, download.
The result is a signed PDF that arrives faster, looks more professional (no scan artifacts, no paper texture, no off-angle pages), and saves you 5-10 minutes per signature. For most contracts, NDAs, leases, offer letters, and B2B agreements, the visible signature stamp PDFOnly produces is legally sufficient under standard e-sign law.
Frequently asked questions
Is a PDF signature legally binding without printing?
Yes for most purposes under US E-SIGN, EU eIDAS, and similar laws. PDFOnly produces a 'simple electronic signature' — visible signature image stamped on the page. Acceptable for employment, leases, NDAs, B2B agreements, and most contracts. For high-stakes transactions requiring 'qualified e-signature' status (notarized, certificate-backed audit trail), use a dedicated service like DocuSign.
How do I make a transparent-background signature image?
Sign on white paper, photograph or scan the signature, upload it to remove.bg or use Photoshop's magic wand to delete the white. Save as PNG with transparency. The result drops cleanly onto any document with no white box around your signature.
Can I save my signature image for repeated use?
Pro plan retains uploaded files for 7 days, so your signature is reusable for a week without re-uploading. For long-term reuse, save the PNG in your password manager or cloud storage and re-upload when needed. Don't keep your signature image lying around on shared drives — it's a forgery risk.
