Place it and download
Drop the signature on the signature line, add a date or initials if they are needed, then export the signed PDF.
Why Make Creati
Built to keep document work clear
One workspace for the file, the change, and the finished result — with the next step always visible.
Service agreement
Page 1 of 3 · editing textThree ways to sign
Draw, type, or upload. Your saved signature can be reused, so the next document takes seconds rather than minutes.
Initials and dates included
Documents that ask for initials on every page, or a date beside the signature, can be completed in the same pass.
Flattened on export
The signature is written into the page when you download, so it cannot be dragged out of position by the next reader.
What you can expect
Clear commitments, not claims
Your files stay yours
Documents are scoped to your account and tied to the project that created them. You choose when a file is shared or removed.
Costs shown before you pay
Self-serve work and quoted work are separated clearly. You see what a request costs before anything is charged.
Honest about limits
We say what a tool does and does not do. Make Creati is for documents you own or are authorized to modify.
Frequently asked questions
Is a signature added here valid?
Whether an electronic signature satisfies a particular agreement depends on the parties and the law that applies to it. Check with the other party or an attorney when the document matters.
Can I reuse a signature on other documents?
Yes. Your saved signature stays in your account, so you can place it on the next document without drawing it again.
Can I sign a Word document?
Not directly. Save or export the Word document as a PDF first - Word does this from File then Save As - and upload that.
How do I add a date next to my signature?
Date and initial fields can be placed alongside the signature. The date can be typed in or set to the day you sign.
What if someone else needs to sign as well?
Sign PDF adds your own signature to a document. Sending a document to someone else to sign is not something we offer.
Whose signature may I add?
Sign your own name, on documents you own or are authorized to sign. Do not apply another person's signature to a document.
