Signature Generator
Create your handwritten signature online — type your name in 6 cursive styles or draw it by hand, then download a transparent PNG for documents.
About the Signature Generator
This free signature generator gives you two ways to make a personal signature. In the Type tab, enter your name and see it rendered live in six cursive and italic styles — from classic flowing script to formal serif — in black or blue ink. In the Draw tab, sign with your mouse, finger or stylus on a smooth drawing canvas with adjustable pen width.
Every signature downloads as a PNG with a fully transparent background, so it drops cleanly onto PDFs, Word documents, email footers and contracts without a white box around it. This is the format e-sign workflows and document editors expect.
Nothing you type or draw ever leaves your device — rendering happens on a local canvas, and the PNG is generated in your browser. That privacy matters for something as sensitive as your signature.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create a handwritten signature online?
Use the Draw tab: sign directly on the canvas with your mouse, trackpad, finger or stylus, exactly as you would on paper. The pen width slider lets you match a fine ballpoint or a broad fountain pen, and Clear lets you retry until it looks right. Then download the result as a transparent PNG ready for any document.
Is a typed or drawn signature legally valid?
In most jurisdictions, yes. Laws like the US ESIGN Act, and eIDAS in the EU, recognise electronic signatures — including typed names and drawn images — as legally binding for most agreements when there is intent to sign. Certain documents such as wills and some property deeds still require traditional signatures, so check requirements for high-stakes paperwork.
How do I add my signature PNG to a PDF or Word document?
Download the transparent PNG, then insert it as an image: in Word use Insert > Pictures and drag it over the signature line; in most PDF editors use the add-image or fill-and-sign tool. Because the background is transparent, the signature sits naturally over lines and text with no white rectangle around it.
Why does my typed signature look different on another computer?
Typed styles use cursive fonts installed on your system, such as Brush Script and Segoe Script, and different operating systems ship different fonts. The downloaded PNG, however, is a fixed image — it captures exactly what you saw when you created it and will look identical everywhere you place it.
Is it safe to create my signature on a website?
Here, yes — everything is rendered on an HTML canvas inside your browser. Your name and your drawn strokes are never uploaded, stored or logged, and the PNG file is generated locally on your device. For something as sensitive as a signature, avoid tools that process the image on their servers.
Black or blue ink — which should I choose?
Both are professionally accepted. Blue ink is often preferred for contracts because it makes an original instantly distinguishable from a black-and-white photocopy, and many banks historically requested it. Black ink looks crisper when printed and scans with higher contrast. For purely digital documents the choice is entirely stylistic.
