Ramos will wear the No.4 jersey at PSG this season when Thilo Kehrer takes the No. 24 which he wore when performing at Schalke 04.
Previously, Ramos became a free agent after failing to reach an agreement in contract extension negotiations with Real Madrid. He left Los Blancos after 16 years and won five La Liga titles and four Champions League trophies.
Last season, Ramos was sidelined due to injury and was eventually left out of the final Spain squad, which was eliminated by Italy in the semifinals of Euro 2020.
The 35-year-old defender is PSG's second free signing, after Mauricio Pochettino's side previously signed former Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum.
PSG had previously made midfielder Danilo Pereira permanent as part of a loan clause from Porto last season.

A number of media reports that PSG are also in the final process to get another free player, namely goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma whose contract ends with AC Milan.
In addition, PSG also officially introduced Achraf Hakimi after bringing him from Serie A club Inter Milan on a five-year contract.
