Frequently Asked Questions

Is a PDF signature created with FreePDFTools legally valid?▾
FreePDFTools creates an image-based signature overlay. This is suitable for many informal and internal documents. For legally binding contracts requiring certified e-signatures (eIDAS/ESIGN Act compliant), you may need a dedicated service like DocuSign.
How do I draw a signature?▾
In the sidebar, select the Draw tab. Draw your signature on the canvas using your mouse or touchscreen. Click '✓ Use' when ready, then click on any page to place it.
Can I type my name as a signature?▾
Yes. Select the Type tab, type your name, and choose from 4 handwriting-style fonts. Your typed name renders on a transparent background so it looks natural on the PDF.
Can I upload my signature as an image?▾
Yes. Upload any PNG, JPG, or WebP image of your signature. Use 'Remove Background' to strip the white background, leaving only the ink. Adjust opacity and rotation as needed.
Can I add signatures to multiple pages?▾
Yes. After placing a signature on page 1, click 'Apply to All Pages' in the viewer toolbar to place it on every page at the same position. Or manually click on each page individually.
Will my signature be transparent?▾
Draw and Type signatures are always transparent (no background). For uploaded images, click 'Remove Background' to make the white background transparent before placing.
