How to Add Initials to a PDF Online — Free

Many contracts require initials on every page to confirm you have read each one. Here's how to add initials quickly to a PDF without printing or scanning.

1

Step 1 — Upload Your Document

Go to pdfeditor.onl/sign-pdf and upload the PDF that requires initials.

Step 2 — Create Your Initials

Draw your initials in the signature canvas, or switch to Type mode and type them in a handwriting-style font.

Tip: Initials are typically smaller than a full signature. After placing the first set, resize them down using the corner handles before adding to other pages.

Step 3 — Place Initials on Each Required Page

Navigate to each page that requires initials and place them in the correct corner or field. You can add initials to as many pages as needed in a single session before downloading.
