How this actually works
Each tool runs entirely with JavaScript already loaded in this page — PDF tools via pdf-lib and pdf.js, image tools via the browser's native Canvas API, and everything else with plain JavaScript. Your files or input are read into browser memory, processed, and handed back as a download or copyable result. This page itself is served by a small Laravel route; Laravel never sees your files either. The only backend in use is Supabase, and only for two optional things: signing in with a magic link, and — only if you're signed in — a log of which tool you ran and when. Honest limits worth knowing: Compress PDF flattens each page to a re-encoded image (great for scans, not ideal if you need selectable text after); HEIC conversion depends on your browser (Safari usually works; Chrome often cannot decode HEIC without a library we don't ship); Fill PDF Form is best-effort for simple AcroForm fields, not a full Adobe Forms replacement; and Word/Excel/PowerPoint ⇄ PDF genuinely needs a server-side engine, so it isn't included — this build only ships tools that can honestly run client-side.
Questions people actually ask
Is this a legally binding e-signature?
No — it draws your signature onto the page visually. It doesn't provide the identity verification or audit trail of a certified e-signature service, so it's meant for informal or internal documents rather than legally enforceable contracts.
Can I save my signature for reuse?
Not currently — you draw it fresh each time, and nothing is stored.
Can I draw with my finger on a phone?
Yes — the signature pad uses pointer events, which respond to mouse, touchscreen finger input, and stylus/pen input the same way.
Can I choose exactly where the signature goes?
You choose from 5 positions — bottom right, bottom left, top right, top left, or center — plus a size slider from 10% to 50% of the page width. There isn't free-drag placement.
Can I sign a page other than the first?
Yes — enter any page number before running the tool.
Can I add more than one signature to a document?
Run the tool once per page you need signed — each run places one signature and produces a new file, which you can then re-upload to sign a different page.
What if I don't like how my signature looks?
Tap Clear to reset the pad and draw again as many times as you want before placing it — nothing is finalized until you run the tool.
Is my signature stored or sent anywhere?
No — it's captured directly from the canvas and embedded into the PDF using pdf-lib, entirely in your browser. It's never uploaded or saved.
Is this really free, and is there a file size limit?
Yes — no account, no paywall. Since processing happens in your browser's memory rather than uploading anywhere, the practical limit is your device's available RAM, not a server quota. Very large files (500+ pages) may run slower, especially for Compress and PDF→JPG.
Does anything about my file get sent anywhere?
No. Every tool runs with pdf-lib/pdf.js loaded in this page; your file is read into browser memory and never leaves it. The only network call this app makes for your account is Supabase auth — and that only stores which tool you ran and when, never file content.
Why isn't Word/Excel/PowerPoint → PDF included?
Converting Office formats accurately needs a real rendering engine (what Word or LibreOffice use internally) — no browser library does this reliably. Rather than ship a broken version, it's left out.
Does TechDriven Tools have OCR (text recognition)?
Yes — OCR PDF recognizes text in scanned or photographed pages using Tesseract.js, running entirely on your device, and gives you a searchable PDF or a plain text file. Nothing is uploaded for this either.
Can I use this without an internet connection?
Once the page and its libraries have loaded once, yes — the tools themselves need no network access. Signing in and viewing history do require a connection, since those talk to Supabase.
What happens to the "history" if I sign in?
Only a row per tool run — the tool's name and a timestamp. No filename, no file content, ever. You can see the full list any time via the History button.
Are the non-PDF utilities (password generator, JSON formatter, etc.) private too?
Yes — same rule as the PDF tools. Word Counter, Case Converter, Password Generator, UUID Generator, Base64, Hash Generator, JSON Formatter and JWT Decoder all run with plain JavaScript already loaded in this page; nothing you type or paste is sent anywhere.
Sign PDF, in depth
Sign PDF lets you draw a signature on a pad and place it at a preset position and size on a chosen page — visual signing, not a certified e-sign audit trail.
How Sign PDF works here
Sign PDF runs locally in your browser on TechDriven Tools. Inputs stay on your device — nothing is uploaded for this step.
Read every label before running. For Sign PDF, the controls that change outcomes most are: signature pad, Clear, position presets (corners/center), size 10–50% of page width, page number. Change one control at a time when you are comparing results.
When to use it
Use Sign PDF when the job matches what the tool is named for — not as a generic substitute for unrelated PDF or data tasks.
Prefer this browser version when the input is sensitive and you want processing to stay on-device with clear option names like: signature pad, Clear, position presets (corners/center), size 10–50% of page width, page number.
If the next step differs (for example you finished and now need a sibling utility), jump to a related tool instead of forcing one screen to do everything.
Teams standardize on Sign PDF when the alternative is emailing files to a consumer upload site. Document the preferred option defaults (for example the usual quality, corner, or rate) so everyone reproduces the same result.
If Sign PDF is only one step in a pipeline, write the order down: what happens before, what happens after, and which related tool owns each step. That prevents double-processing and accidental quality loss.
On mobile, prefer moderate file sizes and simpler option combinations. Local processing is powerful, but phones have less memory than desktops for huge scans or megapixel images.
Countersign a PDF form. Draw on the pad, pick bottom-right, set size ~20%, choose the signature page number.
Internal approval packet. Place a visual sign-off on page 1 center when a full e-sign product is overkill.
Mobile stylus signing. Use pointer events on a phone/stylus; clear and redraw if the first stroke shakes.
Options that change the result
Primary controls
The important controls are: signature pad, Clear, position presets (corners/center), size 10–50% of page width, page number. Change one at a time when comparing outcomes so you know what improved the result.
Run and verify
After you run Sign PDF, open or inspect the output on the device where you will share it. Keep originals until that check passes.
Boundaries
This page does not replace desktop suites for heavy Office conversion or certified legal e-sign. It covers the focused job described above.
Practical defaults
Start with conservative defaults on Sign PDF, run once, then adjust. Extreme settings (lowest quality, highest tip, densest QR payload) are for known constraints — not first tries.
Inputs that surprise people
People often misread units or page indexes. Align with the on-screen labels and the total page count or unit selectors before blaming the engine.
Outputs and naming
Rename downloads immediately (date + client + purpose). Sign PDF may use a generic filename; clear names prevent sending yesterday’s draft.
Accessibility and sharing
After visual tools (watermark/sign/page numbers), skim a page with fresh eyes for contrast and coverage. After data tools, copy results into the system of record your team actually uses.
Privacy
Sign PDF is designed to run in your browser so your files and text are not uploaded for the core transformation.
Still handle downloads carefully: a private process can still leave sensitive files in your Downloads folder.
Optional accounts on TechDriven Tools, when used, are about lightweight usage metadata — not storing the contents of your Sign PDF inputs.
If policy requires a vendor DPIA for any online tool, note that local browser processing reduces data transfer risk, but downloaded artifacts still need handling under your retention rules.
Sign PDF is built to process locally in your browser so sensitive PDFs, images, or text do not need to be uploaded to an unknown server just to finish this job.
Common mistakes
- Thinking it is legally certified e-sign — This draws pixels; it is not an identity-verified signature platform.
- Covering critical text — Sign on blank margin areas; adjust size slider down.
- Wrong page number — Confirm the page field before run — defaults may be page 1.
Getting reliable results from Sign PDF
Most failures with Sign PDF are input/setting issues rather than mysterious bugs: wrong units, wrong page lists, wrong language, or expecting one tool to do a sibling’s job. Re-read the option names, fix the input, and re-run — local tools make iteration cheap.
Sign PDF accelerates the workflow; it does not replace your judgment or professional advice where required.
Related tools
These related tools commonly sit before or after Sign PDF in real workflows.
- Watermark PDF — Stamp a text or image watermark — positioned, tiled, or layered behind content.
- Protect PDF — Add a password to a PDF so only someone who knows it can open the file.
- Merge PDF — Combine several PDFs into one, in the order you choose.
Use Sign PDF when you need this specific job done privately and quickly. Respect what it is not (see mistakes), verify outputs, and chain related tools only when the next step truly differs.
