Frequently asked questions

How do I sign a PDF electronically for free without printing and scanning?

Open your PDF in EZ PDF Editor, draw or type your signature, and drop it exactly where it belongs on the page — no print-sign-scan and no DocuSign account. The whole thing happens in your browser, so the contract never leaves your device. Electronic signatures like these are widely legally accepted, and you can download or print the signed PDF free with no watermark.

Is this safe? Do you upload my files?

No upload, ever. EZ PDF Editor runs 100% in your browser — your PDF is opened and signed locally on your device and never sent to any server, so nothing is uploaded. Your signature is drawn and applied right in your browser. That makes it genuinely private and safe for sensitive documents like contracts, IDs, tax forms and medical records — truly private e-signing.

Will this reduce my document's quality?

No. Your document's quality is untouched — your signature is added on top with pdf-lib and your existing pages and text are copied exactly, with zero re-compression. The original file is never modified, so the signed PDF looks exactly like your document with your signature added.

Is signing a PDF free?

Yes. Signing a PDF yourself is completely free and unlimited — there is no watermark, no sign-up and no email required. Just open the signer, add your signature and download the signed PDF.

How do I add my signature to a PDF?
