Sign a PDF without a printer or scanner
A rental contract, a form from the authorities, a consent slip for school: with this tool you sign a PDF without printing it. Draw your signature with your mouse, trackpad or finger, add the signature to the PDF exactly where it belongs, download - done. It saves the printer, the scanner and the paper, and signing a PDF on your phone works just like on your computer.
Sign a PDF online - your signature stays with you
Neither the document nor your signature is transmitted anywhere - everything happens on your device, and when you close the page the drawn signature is gone with it. For everyday paperwork the inserted signature is usually sufficient; only where the law explicitly requires a qualified electronic signature do you need a certified provider.
And where does the finished PDF go?
PaperHero stores it encrypted in Germany, reads the text and finds it again when you need it. 30 days for €1, then €5.99 per month - cancel monthly.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a qualified electronic signature?
No. The drawn signature is an image inside the document - for everyday use (forms, confirmations, private agreements) that is usually sufficient. Where the law requires a qualified electronic signature, you need a certified provider.
Does anyone see my signature?
No. Drawing and placing happen entirely on your device. Neither the PDF nor the signature is transmitted.
Can I also add text or a date?
This tool focuses on the signature. For text fields, annotations and more there is the full PDF editor inside PaperHero.
