How This Signature Maker Works

1

Pick your method. Type your name to choose from 12 handwritten fonts, or switch to Draw to sign with your mouse, trackpad, or finger on a touchscreen.

2

Customize the look. Adjust slant on typed signatures or pick from five preset colors plus a custom color picker. Toggle the transparent background option if you need to overlay your signature on a document.

3

Download as PNG. Your signature is generated in your browser at high resolution — nothing is uploaded, stored, or shared. The downloaded file works in Word, Google Docs, PDF editors, and email signatures.

4

Use it anywhere. Drop the PNG into contracts, invoices, NDAs, employee paperwork, or save it to your password manager for quick reuse.

When to use a typed vs. drawn signature

ScenarioRecommendedWhy
Internal formsTypedFaster, more legible, and easy to reproduce consistently across documents.
Customer contractsDrawnA handwritten signature carries more weight and visually personalizes the agreement.
Email signaturesTypedUse the transparent PNG to overlay your signature on a branded email footer.
Compliance documentsDrawnFor licenses, permits, and certifications, a drawn signature is closer to the wet-ink original.
Quick approvalsTypedType once, save the PNG, and reuse it for routine sign-offs without redrawing each time.

Tracking signed documents that expire?

Once you’ve signed a contract, license, or certificate, the next challenge is knowing when it expires. Expiration Reminder tracks renewal dates for every document and alerts you before they lapse.

Online Signature Maker – FAQ

Common questions about creating an electronic signature online.

Is my signature stored anywhere when I use this tool?

No. Everything happens inside your browser — your name, drawing strokes, and the final PNG never touch our servers. Close the tab and the signature is gone unless you downloaded it.

What’s the difference between an online signature, an electronic signature, and a digital signature?

An online signature is any signature created on the web — usually a typed or drawn image like the one this tool produces. An electronic signature (e-signature) is the legal concept covering any electronically recorded intent to sign, including images, clicks, and typed names. A digital signature is a cryptographically secured version that uses certificates to verify the signer’s identity. For most everyday documents, an online or electronic signature is sufficient.

Are signatures created with this tool legally binding?

In most countries — including the U.S. (E-SIGN Act and UETA), the EU (eIDAS), the U.K., and Canada — an electronic signature created here is legally binding for routine business and personal documents. Some categories (wills, certain real estate filings, court documents) still require handwritten signatures or notarization. When in doubt, check the requirements for your specific document type or jurisdiction.

What file formats can I sign with the downloaded PNG?

The PNG works in any application that supports image insertion: Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Adobe Acrobat (and most PDF editors), Pages, Excel, Outlook, Gmail email signatures, and image editors like Photoshop or Canva. For PDFs, most editors let you drop the image directly on the signature line and resize it.

Can I use this signature for business or commercial purposes?

Yes. The signatures are royalty-free for personal and business use — sign contracts, invoices, NDAs, employee forms, or anything else. There’s no watermark, no attribution required, and no upload limit. Just bear in mind the legal scope above.

This signature maker generates an image of your typed or drawn signature for use on electronic documents. The tool runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded or stored. Legal validity of electronic signatures varies by jurisdiction and document type; consult applicable laws (E-SIGN Act, UETA, eIDAS, etc.) before signing high-stakes documents.
