How to use it
This mode turns your mouse, trackpad or finger into a pen. Pick a color and a stroke width, then draw your signature straight onto the canvas the way you would on paper. If a stroke goes wrong, hit Clear and try again — there's no limit on attempts, so it's normal to redraw a signature five or six times before one feels right. When you're happy with it, click Download PNG. The file saves with a transparent background instead of a white square, which is what makes it usable: drop it into a PDF page, a Word or Google Docs signature line, an email footer, or a contract or invoice template, and only the ink shows up — not a box around it. Most PDF editors and word processors accept a PNG as an image layer, so the same download works across all of them. A few things make the result look more like a real signature and less like a mouse scribble. Draw slowly rather than fast — a hurried drag with a mouse produces jagged, uneven lines, while a slower stroke lets the tool render a smoother curve. A thicker pen width hides small hand tremors; a thinner one shows more of the natural variation in your signature, which is usually what you want if you're matching a signature you already use on paper. On a phone or tablet, use your finger or a stylus directly on the canvas — touch input tends to look closer to a real signature than a mouse does. Everything above runs in your browser. The canvas, the drawing, and the PNG export all happen on your device — nothing is uploaded to a server at any point, so the signature never leaves your computer or phone until you choose to save or share the file yourself.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my signature uploaded anywhere?
- No. The signature is created entirely in your browser and the PNG is generated on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.
- Does the downloaded image have a transparent background?
- Yes. The PNG has a transparent background, so you can place it over a document, contract or form without a white box behind it.
- Can I use this on my phone?
- Yes. The drawing area supports touch, so you can sign with your finger on a phone or tablet, then download the PNG.
- Is a drawn signature legally binding?
- A drawn image alone isn't automatically a legally binding e-signature everywhere. It's fine for informal use like signing a personal document or adding a signature to an email footer. For contracts that need an audit trail or legal enforceability, use a dedicated e-signature service instead.
