How it works

Sign a document in three steps.

QuickSign is easy-to-use PDF signing software. You set up your signature once; after that, signing a form takes about a minute — draw, place, save.

Step 1

Make your signature

Draw it with a mouse, trackpad or touchscreen — the pen thins as you move, so it looks handwritten. Or import a photo of a real one.

Step 2

Add your name and initials

Captured once and remembered. Forms often ask for all three. Both are optional and can be skipped.

Step 3

Place it and save

Click where each mark goes, drag to adjust, then save. QuickSign writes a new file — your original is never touched.

Why it's different

Your document stays on your machine.

Most tools ask you to upload a private contract, medical form or passport copy to a website you know nothing about. QuickSign does the work on your own PC instead.

Your document never leaves your computer.

QuickSign has no way to send it anywhere. You could switch the internet off completely and it would work exactly the same.

No account, no upload

There is nothing to sign up for and nowhere to log in. The document is never sent anywhere.

Nothing to figure out

No settings to wade through and nothing to configure. Open a PDF and the tools you need are right there in front of you.

Runs on old machines

Windows 7 support is real and tested on a genuinely old PC — not just in theory. Most other PDF tools can't run there at all.

Never touches your original

Saving always writes a new file next to the original. That's structural, not a setting you could get wrong.

The QuickSign save confirmation: a green tick and the message that your original document was not changed.
When you're done

Saved as a new file. A plain PDF anyone can open.

QuickSign suggests a sensible filename beside the original and tells you plainly that the original was not changed. It can show you the saved file in Explorer, or open a pre-written email with the file in front of you to drag in.

The result is an ordinary PDF. The marks are baked into the page and open normally in any reader — exactly like printing, signing and scanning, but without the printer.

Features

Five marks, placed where you want them.

QuickSign is a signing tool, not a PDF editor. Everything it does is aimed at getting a form signed and sent back.

Place and adjust

Click to place a mark, drag to move it, drag the corner to resize. Click the cross to remove, or press Delete. Undo takes back the last thing you added.

Ticks for checkboxes

Drop a tick straight into a checkbox. Rotate turns a sideways-scanned page upright. Long documents get a page counter you can type into — 76, Enter, done.

Use a photo of your real signature

Import a phone photo or scan. The paper is removed automatically, so only the ink lands on the page — no white box around it. Stored as sharp vector paths.

The signer menu open in QuickSign, showing two people and an option to add someone else.

More than one person

A shared machine can hold several signers, each with their own signature, name and initials. Every mark remembers who placed it, so two people's signatures never get mixed up.

Compatibility

It works on the computer you already have.

Including the old one in the spare room. If it runs Windows, it runs QuickSign.

Any Windows PC

Old or new — from Windows 7 right through to Windows 11. Even a machine that struggles with newer programs.

Small and quick

About 6.7 MB — smaller than a typical phone photo. It downloads and sets itself up in moments.

Free and private

Free to download, and it works with the internet switched off. Your documents never leave your PC.

The honest bit

What QuickSign is, and what it isn't.

It draws a picture of your signature onto the page — exactly what most forms mean by "sign", and exactly the same as printing, signing and scanning.

What it is

  • A handwritten signature placed onto a PDF.
  • The same, in effect, as printing and signing by hand.
  • What the overwhelming majority of documents are asking for.

What it isn't

  • It does not prove who you are.
  • It does not make the document tamper-evident.
  • It isn't a certified or cryptographic signing service.

Why we say so plainly: this is the reason QuickSign can be a 7 MB download that works offline forever with no account. If a document needs a certified signature, it will tell you — and QuickSign isn't the tool for that one.

FAQ

Straight answers, including the limits.

A tool that overclaims gets caught out. Here's what QuickSign does not do, said plainly.

What kinds of file can it sign?
PDFs only — not Word documents and not images. If you were emailed a PDF form, that's exactly what it's for.
Does it fill in form fields for me?
No. QuickSign doesn't detect or auto-fill form fields. You place your signature, initials, name, date and ticks wherever you want them on the page.
Can it email the signed file for me?
Not quite — it can't attach the file to an email on its own (email links have no way to carry an attachment). Instead it opens a pre-written message and shows you the file in Explorer, so you can drag it straight in.
Can it edit text, redact, or reorder pages?
No. There's no text editing, redaction, page reordering, merging or splitting. It's a signing tool, not a PDF editor — that's what keeps it small and simple.
Does it open password-protected PDFs?
Encrypted or password-protected PDFs aren't supported.
Is there a Mac version?
Not today. QuickSign is Windows only. A macOS version is possible but doesn't exist yet.
Where are my signature and details kept?
Only on your own computer, kept privately with your personal files. Nothing is ever stored online, because QuickSign doesn't connect to the internet.
Windows shows a warning the first time I run it. Is that normal?
It can. Windows shows this notice for lots of new programs it hasn't seen many times yet — it isn't a virus warning. Click "More info", then "Run anyway", and QuickSign will start.
