Yes. Browser-based PDF signing tools work on mobile devices. The signature pad supports touch input, and the layout adapts to smaller screens. You can upload a PDF from your phone, sign it with your finger, and download the signed file.

How to sign a PDF on mobile

Open the SignPDF tool in your mobile browser, upload a PDF from your device, draw your signature with your finger, position it on the page, and download the signed PDF. The entire process takes under a minute.

The tool interface adapts to mobile screens. The toolbar stacks vertically below the PDF preview. The signature pad opens as a full-width modal that works well with touch input. On iOS, use Safari for best results. On Android, Chrome works well.

Dragging elements on mobile uses touch events. Tap and drag the signature or text element to reposition it. The remove button appears when you hold an element.
