How to add a signature image to a PDF without DocuSign

Stamp a PNG/JPEG of your wet signature onto a PDF—certificates, vouchers, engagement letters—when you do not need a full e-sign audit trail.

Open Add signature to PDF ↗

What people are asking

People who already have a scanned signature and just need it on a form; certificate/voucher batches.

Not every “please sign this” needs a signing platform—sometimes it is a firm stamp on a voucher PDF.

What Add signature to PDF actually does

  • Place a PNG/JPEG signature with drag, resize, rotate, opacity.
  • Choose which pages get the stamp.

What it does not do

  • Provide DocuSign-style certificate-based e-signature or signer authentication.
  • Capture a new drawn signature from a trackpad (use an image file you already have).

Steps

  1. Export or photograph a clear signature on white (PNG with transparency works best).
  2. Open Add signature to PDF.
  3. Upload PDF + signature image; place on the page(s).
  4. Download. Flatten afterward if you need fields locked.
