I'm looking for a tool other than adobe pdf reader that lets me upload an image file of my signature to sign a pdf. Most of the tools I found let me draw a signature and I can't draw my signature on a track pad or with the mouse

I use GIMP for that, and if I need it to look like printed-signed-scanned some ImageMagick incantation [0] or https://lookscanned.io/

PDF Expert is the best I’ve found that also does this, and while expensive, is a really robust and well done program. PDFpen also has this ability.

Xournal++ does what you are looking for.

Firefox can actually do this as long as your signature is in an image file.

I made myself such a tool: https://pdf.rere.re

It's js only, nothing is sent to the server. It automatically makes the background of signatures transparent. The result is a raster pdf as if you printed, signed and scanned the document. I use it on desktop, not sure if it works well on phones.
