Signature Generator
Make a signature you can add to a PDF, a contract, or the bottom of an email. Draw it by hand with your mouse or finger, or type your name and pick a handwriting style. One press downloads a PNG with a see-through background, so it drops onto the page with no white box around it. There's no sign-up, and nothing you draw leaves your device.
Draw a signature online free, or type your name in a handwriting style, then download it as a transparent PNG. Sign by hand with your mouse, trackpad or finger, pick an ink colour and thickness, and one press saves a see-through PNG that drops onto a document with no white box around it. It works as a signature maker for signing a PDF, a contract or an email without printing and scanning. Nothing you draw leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the background really transparent?
- Yes. The PNG has no white box behind it, so your signature sits straight on a document, a coloured page, or an email with nothing boxing it in.
- Can I sign with a touchscreen or trackpad?
- Yes. The drawing area takes a mouse, a trackpad, or a finger, so you can sign on your phone or draw with a pointer on your laptop.
- What's the difference between Draw and Type?
- Draw lets you sign by hand for a real, personal mark. Type renders your name in a handwriting font, which is faster and looks the same every time if you'd rather not draw.
- Is my signature uploaded anywhere?
- No. It's all built in your browser. Your drawing and your name never go to a server, and the file is created on your own device when you press Download.
- How do I add it to a PDF or Word document?
- Download the PNG, then insert it as an image where the signature goes. In most PDF editors and word processors you add an image and drag it into place. Because the background is transparent, it looks like you signed the page directly.
- Do the handwriting styles look the same on every device?
- Not always. The typed styles use handwriting fonts already installed on your device, so the exact shape can differ from one computer or phone to the next. The download captures what you see on screen, so what you preview is what you get.
