Make a reusable signature image in seconds: draw it naturally — strokes are smoothed with the same quadratic-curve technique signature pads use, so mouse wobble comes out looking like ink — or type your name and pick from five handwriting fonts. Exports are trimmed tight to the signature with a transparent background: PNG at 2x for documents, SVG for vector workflows.
Everything stays on your device — for something as forgeable as a signature, that matters. If your goal is a signed document rather than a standalone image, the sign PDF tool lets you draw the signature straight onto the PDF page. You can also stamp the exported image across photos with the image watermark tool, or clean up its edges with the image cropper.
Frequently asked questions
How do I create a signature image for free?
Draw it with your mouse, trackpad, finger, or stylus on the canvas above — strokes are smoothed automatically so it looks like ink, not jagged pixel lines — or switch to the Type tab and render your name in one of five handwriting fonts. Either way you download a transparent PNG at 2x resolution, cropped tightly to the signature. No account, no watermark, no fee.
Is a drawn or typed signature legally valid?
In most jurisdictions (e.g. under the US E-SIGN Act and the EU eIDAS "simple electronic signature" tier), an image of your signature applied with intent to sign can be legally effective for everyday agreements. But this tool only produces the image — it adds no cryptographic identity or audit trail, which regulated documents may require. When in doubt, ask the receiving party what they accept.
Why is the background transparent?
So the signature drops cleanly onto any document — white PDFs, colored letterheads, scanned forms — without a white box around it. The PNG export keeps full transparency, and the SVG export (draw mode) is a vector, so it stays sharp at any size and you can restyle the stroke color later.
Should I download PNG or SVG?
PNG works everywhere — Word, Google Docs, PDF editors, email tools — and is exported at double resolution so it stays crisp when scaled. SVG is a vector of your actual pen strokes: infinitely scalable and editable in design tools, ideal if you will reuse the signature at many sizes. SVG export is available for drawn signatures.
Is my signature uploaded anywhere?
No — drawing, rendering, and export all happen in your browser. A signature is sensitive data (it is exactly what someone would need to forge one), so this tool never sends it to a server. The handwriting fonts load from Google Fonts; your strokes and name do not leave your device.
