Signature maker
Draw or type your signature and download it as a transparent PNG.
The signature maker gives you a small canvas to sign on with a mouse, trackpad or finger, or a "Type" mode that renders your name in a handwriting-style font. You can change the ink colour and pen width, undo strokes, and choose a transparent or white background. On download the image is trimmed tight to your signature and saved as a PNG, so you can drop it into a document, an email, or a PDF. Everything runs in your browser — the signature never leaves your device.
How to use
- Pick "Draw" to sign with your mouse or finger, or "Type" to set your name in a signature font.
- Adjust the pen colour and width; use Undo or Clear to fix a stroke.
- Click "Download PNG" — the image is trimmed to your signature and saved with a transparent background.
Common use scenarios
- Making a reusable signature image to paste onto contracts and forms.
- Signing a document on a computer without a printer or scanner.
- Adding a signature block to an email or a proposal.
- Creating initials to place on every page of an agreement.

How we verify Signature maker
How to get a clean signature image you can reuse.
It's a picture, not a certified signature
This produces a PNG of your handwriting. It is not a cryptographic or certified digital signature and carries no identity verification — whether a drawn signature is acceptable depends on the document and the law that applies to it.
Transparent background travels better
With the transparent option on, the signature sits cleanly on top of any page colour. Turn it off only if the place you're pasting it needs a solid white block behind it.
Typed signatures depend on the device's fonts
"Type" mode falls back through a list of handwriting fonts installed on your system, so the exact look can differ on another computer. A drawn signature always looks the same because it's saved as pixels.
Before you rely on the result
- The signature fills the canvas comfortably — not tiny, not clipped at the edges.
- Ink colour and thickness look right for where you'll use it.
- You've picked transparent or white background to match the destination.
- You've opened the downloaded PNG once to confirm it was trimmed and looks right.
Who this is for
- Anyone who signs PDFs or forms on a computer instead of on paper.
- Freelancers and small businesses sending contracts and proposals.
- People who want a consistent signature image to reuse across documents.
- Anyone adding a signature or initials to a document in a PDF editor.
Real-world examples
Reusable contract signature
Someone draws their signature once, saves the transparent PNG, and drops it onto the signature line of every contract they send that month.
Signing without a scanner
A person on a laptop with no printer signs on the trackpad, downloads the image, and places it in the PDF instead of printing, signing and scanning.
Proposal sign-off
A freelancer adds a typed signature in a handwriting font to the bottom of a project proposal before sending it to a client.
Limitations
- This produces a picture of a signature, not a certified or legally-binding digital signature.
- "Type" mode uses whichever handwriting-style font your device has, so it can look different on other computers.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a legally binding e-signature?
No — it's an image of a signature. It doesn't verify who signed or lock the document. For anything that needs a certified signature, use a dedicated e-signature service.
How do I put the signature into a PDF?
Download the PNG, then add it as an image in your PDF editor — or use it alongside the Fill PDF form tool on this site.
Can I sign with my finger on a phone?
Yes — the canvas accepts touch input, so a phone or tablet works well for drawing a natural-looking signature.
Does my signature get uploaded?
No. The canvas is drawn and exported entirely in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
