The short answer
Open bsign.ca/sign in your browser, choose the PDF, draw or type your signature, tap where it goes and download the signed copy. The file never leaves your device, there is no account and no watermark. It works the same on iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows.
The quick way, on any device
- Open bsign.ca/sign in your browser.
- Choose the PDF, or drop it on the page. It opens on your device; nothing is uploaded.
- Draw your signature with a finger, a stylus or the mouse, or type your name. Add the date or a line of text if the form asks for one.
- Tap the page where each one goes, and drag to adjust.
- Press Download signed PDF.
On an iPhone or iPad
Open bsign.ca/sign in Safari and tap Choose a PDF: the Files app opens, so you can pick a PDF from iCloud Drive, your downloads or an email attachment you saved. Draw your signature with your finger. When you download, Safari saves the signed PDF to Files, in Downloads, ready to attach to an email.
On an Android phone
Open bsign.ca/sign in Chrome and tap Choose a PDF to pick it from Files, Drive or your downloads. Sign with your finger, place it and download: the signed copy goes to your Downloads folder.
On a Mac or Windows computer
Open bsign.ca/sign in any browser, drop the PDF on the page and draw your signature with the mouse or trackpad, or type your name. The signed PDF downloads like any other file. A Mac's Preview app can also add a signature, and so can a PDF editor; the browser way works on every computer, including ones you can't install software on.
A signature image, or an e-signature with proof?
Signing this way adds an image of your signature to the PDF. For many everyday forms that is all that is asked for. It doesn't record who added it or when, though. For agreements, consents and anything you might have to prove later, send the document through an e-signature service instead: here is why that evidence matters.
When someone else needs to sign
Make a free bSign account, upload the PDF, add each person who signs and send. They get a link by email, sign on their own phone or computer without an account, and everyone gets the sealed copy with a certificate showing who signed and when. The free plan covers 2 documents a month.
