How to draw your signature online

  1. 1

    Draw your signature

    Sign inside the box with your mouse, trackpad, finger or a stylus. Take your time: undo the last stroke or clear the pad whenever you like.

  2. 2

    Choose ink and pen

    Pick black, blue or navy ink and a fine, medium or bold pen. Blue ink makes signed documents easy to tell apart from copies.

  3. 3

    Download or copy

    Download a high-resolution PNG with a transparent background, a sharp SVG that scales to any size, or copy the image straight into your document.

  4. 4

    Sign your documents

    Insert the image into a PDF, Word or Google Docs file, a contract or a form, wherever you need your handwritten signature.

What can I use my online signature for?

  • Sign PDF files: in Adobe Acrobat Reader use Fill & Sign → Add signature → Image; on a Mac, use Preview's Markup → Signature tool.
  • Sign Word documents and Google Docs: insert the PNG as an image and place it on the signature line.
  • Contracts, invoices, quotes, rental agreements, permission slips and HR forms.
  • Artwork, photos and certificates: a transparent signature sits cleanly on any background.
  • Your email signature: add a personal, handwritten touch to every message.

Tips for a great-looking handwritten signature

  • Use a trackpad, touchscreen or stylus for the most natural strokes; with a mouse, sign a little slower.
  • Sign large and fill most of the box. The image is cropped automatically and stays sharp at any size.
  • Keep it consistent with the signature on your ID or bank card if it's for official paperwork.
  • Choose SVG when you need a perfectly crisp signature for print or design work.

Is an online signature legally binding?

In many countries, electronic signatures are legally recognized for most everyday agreements, for example under the ESIGN Act and UETA in the United States and the eIDAS Regulation in the European Union. Pasting an image of your signature into a document is a simple form of electronic signature.

Some documents still need a handwritten, witnessed or certified signature, such as wills, notarized papers and certain property or court documents. If you're unsure, ask the other party what they accept or check with a legal professional. This page is general information, not legal advice.

Online signature FAQ

Is this online signature maker really free?

Yes. Drawing, typing, downloading and copying your signature are completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many signatures you create.

Do you store or see my signature?

No. Your signature is created and exported entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to our servers, and closing the page erases it.

How do I get a signature with a transparent background?

Every download is a PNG with a transparent background (or an SVG, which has no background at all), so your signature sits naturally on white paper, coloured forms and photos.

Can I draw my signature on my phone or tablet?

Yes. The signature pad works with your finger or a stylus on iPhone, iPad and Android, as well as with a mouse or trackpad on a computer.

Should I download PNG or SVG?

PNG works everywhere, including Word, Google Docs, PDF editors and email. SVG is a vector file that stays perfectly sharp at any size, which makes it ideal for print and design tools.

Is an online signature the same as a digital signature?

Not quite. An image of your handwritten signature is a simple electronic signature. A digital signature is a cryptographic, certificate-based signature created by signing software. For everyday documents, a signature image is usually all you need; for regulated documents, the other party may require a certified digital signature.

Can I add my signature to my email signature?

Yes. Download the PNG and add it as the logo image in our free email signature generator, so a handwritten signature appears under your name in every email.
