The tool is designed to process selected files in your browser rather than sending them to a PDF upload server. Keep your original file until you have checked the result.
This tool places a typed name as visible text. It is not a cryptographic digital signature, identity verification, or a guarantee that a recipient will accept it for legal purposes.

Adding a signature to a PDF can prepare a document for routine review or exchange without printing and scanning it.
A drawn or placed signature can suit everyday workflows, but regulated or high-value transactions may require a specific e-signature service or certificate-based digital signature.
Select the PDF, add your signature using the available method, position it and download the result. Reopen the file to check visibility and placement.
A visible signature image is not necessarily a cryptographic digital signature and may not provide identity verification or tamper evidence.
Is a drawn signature a certificate signature? Not necessarily. Is every signed PDF legally accepted? Requirements depend on the document and recipient.
