Why Sign PDFs Online?

In today's digital world, printing, signing, and scanning documents is a tedious process of the past. Signing PDFs online saves time, paper, and allows you to handle contracts or forms from anywhere. However, many online tools require you to create an account, pay a subscription, or risk uploading sensitive documents to their servers.

With RamenTask's Sign PDF tool, you can add your signature completely free, and most importantly, 100% privately in your browser.

Step-by-Step Guide to Signing Your PDF

1. Upload Your Document

Navigate to our Sign PDF tool. Simply drag and drop your file into the upload zone or click to select it from your device. Because the tool processes everything locally, your file loads instantly.

2. Create Your Signature

Once your document is open, click the Add Signature button. You have two options:

  • Draw: Use your mouse, trackpad, or finger (on touch devices) to draw your signature just like you would on paper.
  • Upload Image: If you already have a scanned copy of your signature (preferably a PNG with a transparent background), you can upload it directly.

3. Place and Resize

Click anywhere on the document page to stamp your signature. Once placed, you can resize it or drag it exactly to the dotted line or signature box. You can even add multiple signatures on different pages!

4. Download Your Signed Document

When you are satisfied with how everything looks, hit the Download button. Your browser will instantly save the newly signed PDF to your computer, ready to be emailed or submitted.

The Privacy Advantage

The biggest advantage of using RamenTask for this process is privacy. Your documents—whether they are employment contracts, rental agreements, or tax forms—contain highly sensitive data. Because our tool relies on WebAssembly and Web Workers, the file is processed using your device's own memory and CPU. It never touches our servers.

Skip the printer and the pricey software. Try signing your next document locally in your browser today!
