Overview

Signature Generator: sign documents without printing

Signing a PDF or form used to mean printing it, signing with a pen, and scanning it back in. This tool skips all of that: draw your signature with a mouse, trackpad or finger, or type your name in a handwriting style, and download it as a PNG with a transparent background. Drop that image onto any document, contract or email and it looks like a real signature — no printer or scanner involved.

Everything happens in your browser on an HTML canvas. Your signature is never uploaded to a server, so a sensitive thing — your actual signature — stays entirely on your device. The transparent background means it sits cleanly over any page colour or existing text.

Frequently asked questions

Is the downloaded signature transparent?
Yes. The PNG has a transparent background, so it sits cleanly over any document colour or text without a white box around it.
Can I use this to sign a PDF?
Yes. Download the PNG and add it as an image in the PDF Editor, or in any app that lets you place an image on a page.
Is a typed or drawn signature legally valid?
In many places an electronic signature is legally recognised, but requirements vary by country and document type. For important legal documents, check local rules or use a dedicated e-signature service.
Does my signature get uploaded anywhere?
No. It is drawn on a canvas in your browser and downloaded directly to your device — nothing is sent to or stored on any server.
