How to sign a PDF without printing

Updated: · Agah Emre SÖZEN

Printing a contract, signing it, scanning it and sending it back takes time. You can sign a PDF directly on screen instead. This guide shows how to create your signature, place it on the document and when you need a qualified electronic signature.

Steps to sign a PDF

  1. 1Open quillo.tr/sign-pdf and choose the document to sign.
  2. 2Draw your signature with your finger or mouse, or upload a photo of your paper signature.
  3. 3Drag the signature into place and resize or rotate it from its corner.
  4. 4Press Create and download the signed PDF.

Use your paper signature

Upload a photo of your signature on white paper and removes the background, leaving only the strokes. Your signature then looks the same on every document and more natural than one drawn on screen.

Add a stamp, the date and text

Signing for a company? The stamp maker builds a stamp with the company name and details. You can also add the date and free text, and sign more than one page. With an account your signatures and stamps are saved and appear on your other devices.

Is this signature valid everywhere?

This method places an image of your signature on the document, as if you'd printed and signed it by hand. That's enough for quotes, internal paperwork, rental agreements and many forms.

Some official processes require a qualified electronic signature. Those need a certificate-based e-signature rather than a signature image, so check what the other party asks for.

Sign a PDF on your phone

A signature drawn with your finger on a phone usually looks more natural than one drawn with a mouse. Open the same page in your phone's browser; the signed document downloads to your phone, ready to send by email or chat.
