Sign a PDF on Android
Signing a PDF on an Android phone often means installing yet another app that wants storage permissions and an account before it will let you draw a line. FixTools skips all of that. You open the tool in Chrome, upload the PDF from your phone, and a signature pad appears on the page. You draw your signature with a fingertip, drop it on the signature line, and tap download to save the signed file back to your device. Because the tool runs in the browser, the PDF is opened and signed on the phone itself, with nothing uploaded, no permissions requested beyond picking a file, and no watermark added. It works across Android phones and tablets in any modern browser, and the finished file lands in your Downloads ready to share.

Why a browser beats a signing app on Android
Android signing apps tend to ask for broad storage access and often route your document through their own servers to render it, which is a lot of permission and trust for adding a single signature. Many also bundle ads or push a subscription once you try to export.
FixTools runs in Chrome and signs the PDF on the phone itself. It only ever touches the one file you choose, nothing is uploaded, and there is no app sitting in the background afterwards. Enable airplane mode after the page loads and the signing still works, which shows the document is never leaving the device.
How to use this tool
Open the Sign PDF tool in Chrome, upload your PDF, and draw your signature in the pad. Drag it onto the signature line and tap Download to save the signed file to your phone.

Pinch to zoom on the signature line so you can place the signature precisely on small forms.
Sign in landscape
Turning the phone sideways gives your finger more room for a cleaner signature.
