Sign documents without printing or scanning

Signing a PDF usually means printing it, signing by hand and scanning it back, slow, and it ruins the quality. This free tool lets you sign a PDF entirely in your browser: open the file, add your signature by drawing or typing, drag it exactly where it belongs and download the signed PDF. Because everything happens on your device, your document is never uploaded, and there's no signup or watermark.

It works with the tools you already use, HubSpot, Google Workspace and Microsoft Office, so when you need to send documents for signature and track them, Portant can run the whole signing workflow automatically.

Private by design

Your PDF is opened and signed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
