How to use it
- Choose Draw, Type or From a photo.
- Sign in the pad (Undo fixes a slip), type your name and pick a style, or choose a photo of your signature and adjust Stroke strength until it looks clean.
- Pick the ink colour, check the result on the checkerboard (that part is transparent), then Download PNG or Copy image.
Adding the signature to Word or a PDF
- Word: Insert → Pictures → choose signature.png. Click the image → Wrap Text → In Front of Text, then drag it onto the signature line.
- Google Docs: Insert → Image → Upload from computer, or paste the copied image.
- PDF: use Fill & Sign in Adobe Acrobat Reader, or Markup in Preview and the Files app on Mac and iPhone, and add the signature from the image.
- For the most natural result, sign on white paper with a dark ballpoint pen and use From a photo.
Is an image of a signature legally binding?
A signature image is just a picture: anyone with the file can paste it, so it does not prove who signed. Many contracts and official forms require a qualified electronic signature, a signing service, or a wet signature on paper. Use signature images for letters, internal documents, or when the recipient accepts them, and only share the file with people you trust.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make a signature with a transparent background?
+
Create the signature by drawing, typing or from a photo, then click Download PNG. The PNG keeps a transparent background, so it never hides the text below. Turn on White background if an app shows transparency as black.
How do I get a clean signature from a photo?
+
Sign on white paper with a dark pen, photograph it straight from above in good light, and fill most of the frame with the signature. Then adjust Stroke strength and Trim the edges until the background is clean and the strokes are solid.
Is my signature stored anywhere?
+
No. Everything runs in your browser. The page does not send your signature to a server or save it in the browser, so download the file before you close the page.
Can I use it on a phone or tablet?
+
Yes. Sign with your finger or a stylus; Apple Pencil and other pressure-sensitive pens vary the line width. Turn the phone sideways for a wider pad.
Is an image signature the same as a digital signature?
+
No. A digital signature is cryptographic proof tied to your identity, created by a signing service. An image is only a picture of your handwriting.
