Signature maker

Draw your signature with a mouse, finger or stylus, or type it in a handwriting style, then download a clean transparent PNG to drop into any document, all in your browser.



Signature Maker lets you create a handwritten signature in your browser and download it as a transparent PNG. Draw it with a mouse, finger or stylus on a clean signing pad, or switch to type mode and render your name in a handwriting style. Pick your ink colour and pen thickness, undo or clear as you go, and the download is cropped tightly around your signature so it drops neatly into a document, contract or PDF. Everything stays on your device, which matters for something as personal as a signature.

What this tool does

Draw with mouse, finger or stylus

Draw with a mouse, a finger or a stylus. A stylus or a finger on a phone usually gives a much more natural line than a mouse.

Or type your name in a handwriting style

Type your name instead and pick from Flowing, Elegant, Casual, Formal or Brush, which is quicker when the look matters more than the hand.

Choose ink colour and pen thickness

Ink colour and pen thickness are both adjustable, so a signature can match blue or black ink on the document it is going onto.

Transparent PNG, auto-trimmed to your signature

The PNG comes out with a transparent background, trimmed to the signature itself, so it drops onto a document with no white box round it.

Private in your browser, nothing uploaded

Everything is drawn and exported in your browser, so your signature is never uploaded to anyone.

Frequently asked questions

Is my signature uploaded anywhere?

No. Your signature is drawn and saved entirely in your browser, and the image is created on your own device. Nothing is ever uploaded, which matters for something as personal as a signature.

Is the background really transparent?

Yes. By default the downloaded PNG has a transparent background, so your signature drops cleanly onto a document, contract or image. You can switch to a white background if you prefer.

Can I type my signature instead of drawing?

Yes. Switch to the type tab, enter your name and pick a handwriting style. It is handy if you do not have a touchscreen or stylus, though a drawn signature is more personal.

Does it trim the empty space?

Yes. When you download, the image is cropped tightly around your signature with a small margin, so there is no large empty border around it when you place it in a document.

Can I use this to sign a PDF?

Yes. Download the transparent PNG and add it to a document, or use it with the Sign PDF tool to place it onto a PDF. It works anywhere you can insert an image.
