About This Tool

Digital Signature allows you to add cryptographic X.509 digital signatures to PDF documents. Unlike simple drawn signatures, digital signatures provide legal validity and document integrity verification.

Upload your certificate file (PFX, P12, or PEM format), enter the password, and sign your PDF. You can add visible signatures with custom text, images, and positioning, or invisible signatures for document integrity only.

All signing happens locally in your browser. Your certificate and documents are never uploaded to any server.
