Sign with your finger, right in the browser
You don’t need to install an app from the App Store or Play Store to sign a PDF on your phone. PDFArena runs in your mobile browser, so you can open a PDF, draw your signature with your fingertip on the touchscreen, and place it on the document — it feels just like signing on paper.
It works the same on iPhone and iPad in Safari and on Android in Chrome. When you’re done, download the signed PDF to your phone’s files and share it from there.
No app, no account, fully private
Because there’s no app, there are no permissions to grant and nothing tracking you. And because the PDF is processed on your phone, the document is never uploaded — it stays private to your device.
How it works
Sign your PDF in three steps.
No learning curve, no account setup — done in under a minute.
Add your signature
Draw it with a mouse or finger, type your name, or upload a signature image. Drag it into position on the page.
