How to create a signature

  1. 1

    Type or draw

    Type your name and pick a handwriting style, or draw your signature with a mouse, finger or stylus.

  2. 2

    Adjust it

    Choose the ink colour and slant, or undo strokes until the drawing looks right. Initials only is one tick away.

  3. 3

    Download or sign

    Download a transparent PNG (or SVG for a drawn signature), or save it and sign a PDF with it.

Why create your signature in your browser?

A signature is personal. Many signature sites upload what you draw; here it is drawn, rendered and saved on your device, and nothing is sent anywhere.

Signing a document?

Open Sign PDF to place your signature, the date and your initials on any PDF. Filling in a form first? Use PDF Forms.

Frequently asked questions

Is a typed signature legally valid?+

In many countries an electronic signature, including a typed name in a handwriting style, can be valid for everyday agreements, because what counts is intent to sign. Some documents (such as wills, property deeds or notarised forms) need a wet or certified digital signature. If in doubt, check what the recipient accepts.

Why is the background transparent?+

So the signature sits on a document, letter or email without a white box around it. The checkerboard in the preview shows the transparent area.

Which format should I download?+

PNG works everywhere: Word, Google Docs, email signatures and PDF editors. Choose Large for printing. A drawn signature can also be downloaded as SVG, which stays sharp at any size.

Where is a saved signature kept?+

Only in this browser, on this device. It is never uploaded. Saved signatures appear in Sign PDF so you can add them to a document in one click, and you can delete them any time.

Can I use a photo of my real signature?+

Yes, in Sign PDF: choose Upload photo, and the paper background is removed so only the ink remains.

Is it free?+

Yes, with no sign-up and no watermark.
