About the Signature Generator

This creates a signature image you can drop into documents — a PDF contract, a Word file, an email footer, or a design. Two ways to make one: draw it freehand with a mouse, trackpad or touchscreen (best with a stylus or finger on a tablet), or type your name and render it in a handwriting-style font. The result downloads as a transparent PNG, so it sits cleanly over a document without a white box around it.

How it works

Draw mode captures your strokes on a canvas using pointer events, so it works with mouse, touch and stylus. You can set the pen colour and thickness.
Type mode renders your typed name centred on a canvas in your chosen signature font and colour.

Either way, the canvas background is left transparent, and the image is exported as a PNG with transparency — meaning only the ink shows when you place it over other content, with no opaque rectangle behind it.

Assumptions and behaviour

The exported PNG has a transparent background, so it overlays documents cleanly.
Draw mode works best with a touchscreen and stylus or finger; a mouse works but is harder to sign smoothly with.
Type mode uses a handwriting-style font and centres your name; colour is adjustable.
Clearing resets the canvas (or the typed name) so you can try again.

Limitations

It produces a PNG image only — no SVG, and no direct embedding into a PDF (download the PNG, then insert it where you need it).
A typed signature is a font, so it won't look like your real handwriting; draw mode is closer to a genuine signature.
An image of a signature is not, by itself, a legally binding electronic signature. Whether a signature is legally valid depends on your jurisdiction and the document — for formal agreements, a proper e-signature service with identity verification and an audit trail may be required. This tool makes the graphic, not the legal framework.
Because it's just an image, it can be copied and reused by anyone who has the file — treat it with care.

Privacy

Your signature is created entirely in your browser and never uploaded or stored. It exists only as the image you download.

Frequently asked questions

Is this signature generator free?

Yes — free, no sign-up, no watermark, no limits.

Can I draw or type my signature?

Both. Draw it freehand with a mouse, touch or stylus, or type your name and render it in a handwriting-style font.

Does the PNG have a transparent background?

Yes. The background is transparent, so only the ink shows when you place the signature over a document — no white box around it.

How do I add it to a PDF or Word document?

Download the transparent PNG, then insert it as an image where you need it in your PDF editor, Word or design tool.

Is a typed or drawn signature legally binding?

Not on its own. An image of a signature isn't automatically a legally valid e-signature — that depends on your jurisdiction and the document. Formal agreements may need a proper e-signature service with identity verification.

Is my signature uploaded anywhere?

No. It's created entirely on your device and never sent or stored — it exists only as the file you download.

Draw or type — which looks better?

Drawing (especially with a stylus or finger on a tablet) looks most like a real signature. Typing is quicker but produces a font, not your actual handwriting.
