How to Create an Electronic Signature (Free)
A reusable signature image saves you printing, signing and scanning every document. The Signature Generator lets you draw or type your signature and download it as a transparent PNG you can drop into anything, all created privately in your browser.
Draw vs type your signature
Drawing with a mouse, trackpad or touchscreen gives the most authentic, personal look. Typing lets you pick a handwriting-style font and is quick and consistent. Both export with a transparent background, so the signature sits naturally over documents without a white box around it.
How to create a signature
- Open the Signature Generator. 2. Draw your signature on the pad, or switch to Type and enter your name in a handwriting style. 3. Choose a color. 4. Download the transparent PNG. Everything happens in your browser.
Using your signature
Drop the PNG into a document, email signature or image. To sign a PDF specifically — placing and resizing the signature on the page — use the Sign PDF tool, which lets you draw and position your signature directly on the document.
