Create your signature in seconds

Type your name in cursive, or draw a signature with your mouse, trackpad, or finger. Adjust color and size, then export as a transparent PNG ready for any document β€” or scalable SVG for design files. Everything runs in your browser; no account, no watermark, no signing data leaves your device.

How it works

Step-by-step guide

  1. 1

    Pick Type or Draw mode

    Type mode renders your name in a clean cursive font. Draw mode lets you sign with mouse, trackpad, or finger on touch devices.

  2. 2

    Style your signature

    Choose from 6 fonts in Type mode, change ink color, adjust size. In Draw mode, customize pen color and stroke width.

  3. 3

    Preview live

    The preview updates as you type or draw. Try several styles before committing β€” there is no save button to commit anything.

  4. 4

    Export PNG or SVG

    Download a transparent PNG that drops into any PDF, Word doc, or email signature. SVG is available in Type mode for scalable design files.

Benefits

Why use this tool

Two creation modes

Type for a clean glyph-based signature, or draw freehand for a personal handwritten look. Switch instantly.

6 cursive font styles

Brush, italic, mono, sans, serif, fantasy. All standard system fonts β€” no font licensing or attribution required.

Transparent background

PNG exports come with a fully transparent background β€” drop directly onto any document without a white box.

Runs locally β€” nothing uploaded

The signature is rendered locally in your browser. We do not have a backend that receives anything.

Free, instant, no account

No email gate, no daily limit, no watermark. Generate as many signatures as you need.

Mobile-first signing

Touch input is captured the same as mouse input. Sign with your finger on phone or tablet.

Use cases

Common use cases

Email signatures with a personal touch

A signature image at the bottom of your email feels warmer than a typed name. Generate once, paste into Gmail/Outlook signature settings.

Invoices and quotes for freelancers

Add your handwritten name to professional invoices and quotes β€” small touch that signals authenticity to clients.

Cover letters and proposals

A personal signature at the end of a cover letter or proposal converts better than just typed text.

Document templates

Insert your signature into Word/Pages contract templates so each new contract is pre-signed and ready to send.

Design and marketing assets

Use the SVG export for scalable signature graphics in Figma, Sketch, Illustrator, or InDesign without quality loss.

Quick countersigning

Pair this generator with our PDF signer to quickly drop a transparent PNG signature onto any document received by email.

Tool vs full software

When a signature image is enough β€” and when to use a real platform

What this tool produces is a visual signature image. It is the right artifact when you want to drop a personal mark onto your own invoices, proposals, email signature, or contract templates. Once exported, the file is yours β€” paste it anywhere.

It is not a signing workflow. Reach for a full eSignature platform when:

  • You are sending a document to someone else for them to sign. They need a signing link, identity verification, and a record of what they signed β€” not a PNG. See Dropbox Sign or SignNow.
  • The signature needs to be cryptographically tied to a specific identity, as required for an eIDAS Qualified Electronic Signature or NIST identity proofing. A pasted PNG cannot prove who pasted it.
  • You need a tamper-evident audit trail with IP, timestamp, and authentication. A platform records one; an image does not.

For everyday signing of your own documents β€” your invoices, your email signoff, your draft proposal β€” this tool is faster than any platform.

Be aware

Honest limitations

  • ! This tool only creates a visual signature image. It is not a signing workflow β€” there is no recipient, no identity check, no signed timestamp.
  • ! Whether a pasted signature image counts as a valid signature for a specific contract depends on the document, the parties, and the law that applies. High-value, regulated, or formally specified signatures generally need more than an image.
  • ! SVG export is Type mode only. Drawn signatures produce too many path segments to be useful as vectors β€” PNG is more honest for drawn input.
  • ! Type mode uses your system's installed fonts. Rendering may look slightly different on a recipient's device if they don't have the same fonts (PNG export captures the rendering, so this only matters if you copy live SVG text).
  • ! No history, no saved signatures. Close the tab and the workspace clears. Re-download if you need the file again.
  • ! Pasting a signature image into a PDF does not produce a cryptographic PDF signature (PAdES/CAdES). For recipients who validate signatures programmatically, use a dedicated platform.

This tool generates a visual signature image. It is not legal advice and does not replace guidance from a qualified lawyer. Whether a particular use of a signature image is valid depends on local law and the document at hand β€” when in doubt, run sensitive or high-stakes signing through a compliant eSignature platform.

Need to send signed documents to clients?

A signature image is a great start. When you need identity verification, multi-party routing, and a tamper-evident record of who signed what and when, an eSignature platform is the right tool. Compare the editor-tested options.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is a signature image like this enough on its own?
For everyday paperwork β€” your own invoices, draft proposals, an email signoff β€” most people consider a typed or drawn signature image acceptable. Whether it carries legal effect on a specific contract is a separate question that depends on the country, the document, and how both parties consented. The image itself does not prove who pasted it, when, or in what state of mind. For higher-stakes contracts that may need to be defended later, use an eSignature platform with identity checks and an audit trail. We are not lawyers, and this is not legal advice.
PNG vs SVG β€” which should I download?
PNG is the right choice for inserting into a PDF, Word document, or email signature β€” it has a transparent background and works everywhere. SVG is for design tools (Figma, Illustrator, InDesign) where you need to scale the signature without quality loss. SVG export is Type mode only.
Can I draw with my finger on mobile?
Yes. Touch input is captured the same way as mouse input on Draw mode. Pinch-zoom in your browser if you need a larger drawing area.
Why does the SVG export only work in Type mode?
Drawn signatures produce thousands of tiny line segments that bloat an SVG and look noisy when scaled. PNG is more honest for drawn input. Type-mode signatures are clean glyph paths that scale perfectly.
Are the fonts free for commercial use?
The Type mode renders signatures using your operating system's installed fonts (Brush Script MT, Apple Chancery, Helvetica Neue, etc.). The rendered signature is your name in your handwriting style β€” using it on your own documents is unrestricted.
Can I save the signature to use later?
Download the PNG (or SVG) and re-use it. The tool itself does not store anything between visits β€” close the tab and the workspace is cleared.
Does the tool save my data anywhere?
No. Everything happens in your browser. There is no backend, no analytics on what you typed, no storage. Closing the tab discards everything.
Can I use this signature in DocuSign / Adobe Sign / etc.?
Yes. Most eSignature platforms let you upload a signature image to use as your signing avatar. Generate it here, then upload as your account signature in the platform of your choice.
