How to Add a Signature to a PDF on Mac — Free

Mac has Preview for basic signatures, but it is limited to trackpad drawing only. Here is a more versatile free method that also lets you type or upload a signature image.

1

Open Safari on Mac

Navigate to pdfeditor.onl/sign-pdf. Works on all Mac models in Safari or Chrome.

2

Create Your Signature

Draw with your trackpad using the mouse/trackpad canvas — or type your name in a handwriting font — or upload a scanned signature image. All three methods work on Mac.

Tip: For the most natural-looking signature on Mac, use a trackpad with Tap to Click enabled. Draw slowly for clean results.

3

Place and Download

Drag the signature to the correct position. Resize with corner handles. Click Download Signed PDF.
