1

Step 1 — Open Chrome on Your Android Device

Open Chrome (or any browser) on your Android phone or tablet and navigate to pdfeditor.onl/sign-pdf. The signing tool is fully optimized for touch screens.

Step 2 — Upload the PDF

Tap the upload area. Android's file picker will open — navigate to your Downloads, Google Drive, or any folder where the PDF is stored.

Tip: If the PDF arrived as a Gmail attachment, tap the download icon on the attachment first to save it to your device, then upload it here.

Step 3 — Draw Your Signature

Select Draw Signature mode. Use your finger (or a stylus) to draw your signature in the signature pad. Try a few times — tap Clear to redo. Choose pen size and color (black or blue ink look most professional).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sign a PDF with a Samsung Galaxy S-Pen on Android?

Yes. The S-Pen works as a touch input in the browser signature pad. You will get a more precise signature than with a finger.

Does the signed PDF look the same on other devices?

Yes. The signature is embedded as a vector image in the PDF — it renders identically on iOS, Windows, Mac, and any PDF viewer.

Is signing a PDF on Android legally binding?

For most everyday documents, yes. For regulated contracts requiring a certified electronic signature with an audit trail, use a dedicated e-signature service.
