Signature creator

A signature image, without opening an image editor

Plenty of everyday tasks need a signature as a small, transparent image rather than an actual legal e-signature: dropping one into a PDF you're editing by hand, adding it to an email signoff, pasting it into a form, or using it as a placeholder in a template. Opening a full image editor just to draw a few strokes on a transparent background is overkill. This tool gives you exactly that image, in a few seconds, in your browser.

Two ways to make one

Draw mode lets you sign with your mouse, trackpad or finger, the same way you'd sign on a delivery driver's screen. Type mode renders your typed name in a cursive, handwriting-style font instead — useful when a drawn signature with a mouse looks too shaky, or when you just want something quick and legible. Both export the same way: a transparent PNG, automatically trimmed to the signature itself rather than a large empty canvas.

What this is not

This creates a signature-shaped image, not a legally binding electronic signature with identity verification, timestamps or an audit trail. For placing a signature image inside an existing PDF at an exact spot, use Sign PDF, which accepts an image like the one this tool produces.

Getting a cleaner drawn signature

A mouse or trackpad makes a shakier line than a pen on paper, and that's normal — most real signatures look a little rough too. If yours looks too jagged, a touchscreen or a stylus usually gives a smoother result than a mouse. You can also thicken the stroke slightly, which tends to hide small wobbles better than a thin line does.

Everything happens locally in your browser: the drawing, the text rendering and the PNG export. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
