NilPDF Fill & Sign combines three steps that used to be three separate tools into one pass: if your PDF has real fillable fields, they're detected and highlighted automatically so you can type straight into them; anywhere else on the page, switch to Text mode and click to write in a blank, a date, or a note; then switch to Sign mode to draw, type, or upload a signature and drag it into place. One "Apply & Download" bakes everything in and downloads the finished PDF. Nothing is ever uploaded to a server, form detection, filling, writing, and signing all happen locally in your browser.

100% private. Your files are processed entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly. Nothing is uploaded to any server. NilPDF has no backend, there is no server to send your files to.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really free?

Yes. Completely free, unlimited use, no account required.

Are my PDF files safe when I use this?

Your files never leave your device. All processing happens in your browser using WebAssembly (Pyodide). NilPDF has no server, there is nothing to upload to.

What if my PDF has no fillable form fields?

That's fine, the Fields option only appears if NilPDF detects real AcroForm fields. On any other PDF you can still switch to Text mode and click anywhere to write in a blank or a date, then sign it.

Is the signature a legally binding digital signature?

No. It creates a visual signature, a picture of a signature placed on the page. It is not a certificate-based digital signature, and NilPDF makes no guarantee that it meets the legal requirements for your document.

Can I use this on a password-protected PDF?

Yes. Enter the password when prompted and NilPDF will decrypt the file locally before you fill it in or sign it.
