How to Sign a PDF on iPad for Free

Sign PDF documents on your iPad using the touch screen. Draw your signature with your finger or Apple Pencil — free, no app required.

The iPad's touch screen makes drawing a signature very natural. FixMyPDF works in Safari on iPad — upload your PDF, draw your signature with your finger or Apple Pencil, and position it on the document.

Signing With a Finger on iPad

Open Safari and go to fixmypdf.in/tools/pdf-sign. Upload your PDF from the Files app. Tap the Draw Signature area and sign with your finger. The signature pad captures your stroke at full resolution. Tap Done, position the signature, and download.

Signing With Apple Pencil

Apple Pencil produces the most natural signature. When the signature pad is active, use the Pencil directly on the screen. The pressure sensitivity and tilt create a signature that looks identical to pen on paper.

iPad vs iPhone for Signing

The larger iPad screen makes positioning the signature on the document easier. iPhone works too, but on small screens, the signature placement can require more precision.

Alternative: iOS Markup

For very quick signatures, the built-in iOS Markup feature (available in Files and Mail) also lets you add a signature. FixMyPDF offers more control — you can resize, reposition, and sign multiple pages.
