Frequently asked questions
- Do my documents get uploaded anywhere?
- No. Signing happens entirely in your browser — your PDF never leaves your device.
- Is this a legally binding e-signature?
- It adds a visual signature to the document. It isn't a certified multi-party e-signature service — use it for everyday sign-and-send needs.
- Can I sign on more than one page?
- Yes. Place your signature on as many pages and spots as you need before applying.
Sign and send, without the runaround
Most of the time “sign this PDF” doesn't mean a formal e-signature ceremony — it means adding your signature to a rental agreement, a permission slip, or an onboarding form and sending it back. HivePDF makes that quick: open the PDF, create your signature once, and drop it wherever it belongs. No account, no per-document fee, and no uploading a private contract to someone else's server.
Three ways to make your signature
Draw it with a mouse, trackpad, or finger; type your name and we'll render it in a handwriting-style font; or upload a photo or PNG of a signature you already have. However you make it, it's placed as a transparent image. You can position it on multiple spots and pages, and drag or resize each placement. Signatures on rotated or scanned pages land correctly, too.
What this is and isn't
This adds a visual signature that's baked permanently into the document — great for everyday sign-and-return needs. It is not a certified, legally-binding multi-party e-signature platform with an audit trail. Everything here happens in your browser, so the document you're signing never leaves your device.
