Just Sign ItHow to sign a PDF without printing it
Open the PDF in a browser-based signer like Just Sign It, draw or type your signature, drop it on the signature line and download the signed copy. No printer or scanner needed.
Skip the print, sign, scan routine
Printing a form, signing it with a pen and scanning it back in takes a printer, a scanner and usually a few tries to get a copy that isn’t crooked. And what you end up sending is a blurry picture of a document that used to be crisp.
Signing the PDF directly keeps the original exactly as it was and just adds your signature on top. The text stays sharp and searchable.
Making it look like your real signature
Signing with a mouse can look shaky. A trackpad is better. On a phone or tablet, using your finger looks the most natural.
Or sign a piece of white paper, snap a photo and upload it. Just Sign It can remove the white background so only your ink ends up on the page.
How it works
- Drop your PDF onto the page, or click “Choose PDF”.
- Click “New signature”. Draw it, type your name in a handwriting font, or upload a photo of it.
- Click your signature to place it. Drag it where it goes and use the corner dot to resize it.
- Click “Download signed PDF”. That’s it.
