How to Sign a PDF on Mac for Free (No Signup, No Upload)

Signing a PDF on a Mac usually means opening Preview or an app and hunting for the markup tools. A browser tool with a signature pad can be quicker, and it works the same on any computer.

Quick answer

Open PDF Sign in Safari or Chrome, draw your signature with the trackpad, drop in the PDF, place the signature and download.

Step by step

  1. Open Safari or Chrome and go to PDF Sign.
  2. Draw your signature in the pad by pressing and dragging on the trackpad, or with a mouse. Pick an ink color and click "Use this signature".
  3. Drag the PDF from Finder onto the drop area.
  4. Click the page where the signature should go, drag it into place and resize it with the corner dots.
  5. Click "Save signed PDF". The file is saved to your Downloads folder.

Tips

  • A slow, steady drag on the trackpad looks smoother than a quick one. You can clear and redo as often as you like.
  • Zoom in on the page before placing the signature so it sits on the line.
  • Open the signed PDF in Preview afterwards to check it before you send it.

Good to know

It adds a drawn signature image, not a certificate-based digital signature. Check what the recipient requires. Your PDF stays in your browser.
