PDF Filler—Fill Forms With Text or Images & E-sign

With Smallpdf, you can type, edit, and fill out PDF forms online for free.

Any simple PDF reader can be used to fill out and save PDF forms. If this doesn’t work for your file, it could be that your form is scanned so the fields won’t be editable, and you can’t enter the required information.

The Smallpdf PDF filler allows you to type, edit, draw, and insert images into your PDF forms, even if they’re scans. If you don’t have a solution to make PDF fillable, this is where we come to the rescue, for free.

Basic Form Filling

1. Go to the Smallpdf PDF filler and upload your form.
2. Click on “Add text box” to add your information.
3. Choose the font, size, and color.
4. Adjust the position of your text, if necessary.
5. Click “Export” and choose the format you need.

Add Images and Shapes

The PDF Filler also makes it possible to add images to your PDF forms. While you have the document open, click on the image icon to browse and insert an image straight from your computer.

In terms of shapes, you can choose from arrows, squares, lines, and circles. You can also adjust the color and thickness of the body and border of these shapes.

Freehand Drawing

Click the pencil icon to add freehand drawings to your PDF. This function is particularly useful if you are using a stylus on your mobile or tablet. You can adjust the thickness and color of each stroke.

Remember to download your file when you’re done.

E-sign PDF Forms

While the draw function is a great signing tool, we have a much better solution for you. If you want to complete filling out your form with an electronic signature, we suggest switching to our eSign PDF tool instead. It makes signing PDFs easy and secure. Plus, you can also request signatures from other parties, which is perfect for contracts. And yes, it’s also free to use online and super easy.

1. Go to eSign, or click “eSign” on the top bar.
2. Click “Your Signature” to create a brand new e-signature or add an existing signature.
3. Drag the signature onto the PDF form and adjust its size and color.
4. “Finish & Sign” to add the signature and then download your file.
