Common questions

Is my signature uploaded?

No. Your signature is drawn, typed or cleaned up by your browser on your own device and is never sent to us or to anyone else. Nothing is stored after you close the page.

How do I make a signature with a transparent background?

Make it any of the three ways and press Download PNG (transparent). Everything around the ink is see-through, so the signature sits on top of a document, a form or an email without a white box around it.

How do I turn a photo of my signature into an image?

Sign in dark ink on plain white paper, take a photo in good light, straight on, and choose it under A photo. The tool reads the colour of the paper from the edges of the photo and removes it. If faint marks remain, move the Cleaning slider to the right; if parts of the signature fade, move it to the left.

Is a signature image legally binding?

A picture of a signature is just a picture. Whether an electronic signature binds you depends on the law where you are and what the document is; in the United States the ESIGN Act allows electronic signatures for most transactions, with exceptions such as wills. To sign a PDF itself, use Sign PDF.

What size should an email signature image be?

About 100 pixels high suits most email signatures, and keeps the file small. Choose 100 px under Height.

Can I use the typed styles for a real signature?

The four styles are handwriting fonts, so a typed signature looks the same for everyone who types that name. A drawn signature, or a photo of your own, is personal to you.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit.

Nothing happens when I pick a file

The tool runs entirely in your browser, so a very old browser can fail silently. Try the current Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari. Your files are never uploaded anywhere.
