Drag and drop a PDF or photo, or click "Choose File." Up to 100 MB.
Create and Place Your Signature
Type, draw, or upload your signature, then drag it into position, resize it, and adjust rotation or opacity as needed.
Apply & Download
Click Apply & Download to get your signed PDF or photo — the signature is embedded directly into the file.
🔒 100% Private — Your document never leaves your device
Signing happens entirely in your browser using pdf-lib and the Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded to a server at any point.
🎯 Tips for a Clean Digital Signature
Draw with a trackpad or touchscreen
A drawn signature looks most natural with a finger on a touchscreen or a trackpad rather than a mouse. Zoom into the draw box for finer control.
Duplicate instead of recreating
Need to sign and initial the same document? Create your signature once, then duplicate it and resize the copy down for an initial.
Check every page before downloading
Use the page navigator to review each page of a multi-page PDF — a signature only appears on the page it was placed on.
Match ink color to convention
Blue ink is traditionally used to show a document was signed with an original (not photocopied) signature — pick blue for the Type or Draw methods if that matters for your document.
Keep the signature proportional
Drag the corner handle rather than stretching freely — most signatures look best kept close to their original width-to-height ratio.
Know when you need more than this
For contracts that legally require a certified e-signature with an audit trail (identity verification, timestamped certificate), use a dedicated e-signature service instead of a simple image stamp.
Frequently Asked Questions
Magic Signature places an image of your signature onto a document — the same as printing, signing, and scanning a page, but done digitally. Whether that satisfies e-signature requirements (such as eIDAS or the U.S. ESIGN Act) depends on your situation and the document; for contracts requiring certified digital signatures with an audit trail, use a dedicated e-signature service instead.

Typing renders your name in a handwriting-style font — fast, but less personal. Drawing lets you sketch your actual signature with a mouse, trackpad, or finger. Uploading lets you reuse a signature image you already have, such as a scanned or transparent PNG signature.
Yes. Drag a placed signature to move it, drag its corner handle to resize it, and use the Rotation and Opacity sliders in the side panel to fine-tune it.
