A signature you can paste into anything
Scanning a signature means finding a printer, a pen and a phone, then cropping the photo and fighting the grey background. Drawing it here takes ten seconds and comes out already trimmed, on a transparent background, at whatever size and file limit you need.
What you get
- PNG with a transparent background — sits on top of a PDF, a letter or a contract without a white box around it
- JPG on white — what most government and university forms ask for
- Trimmed automatically, so there is no empty space around the ink
- A size limit in KB for forms that cap the upload
How to use the signature maker
- Draw in the white box with a mouse, a finger on a phone, or a stylus — which gives by far the best result.
- Or switch to typing and pick a handwriting style if you would rather not draw.
- Set the width and format, add a KB limit if the form has one, and download.
Tips for a signature that looks right
- Sign quickly rather than carefully. A slow, traced signature looks traced.
- A pen thickness of 3 to 5 at this canvas size matches a normal pen on paper.
- For documents, 600 px wide is plenty; it will print cleanly at the size a signature is actually used.
About legality and safety
- The image never leaves your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or logged.
- An image of a signature is widely accepted on everyday paperwork, but it is not a cryptographic digital signature. For contracts that need one, use a proper e-signature service.
- Keep the file somewhere private — anyone who has it can paste it onto a document.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a signature with a transparent background?
Draw it above and choose PNG when you download. The tool trims the empty space and keeps the background transparent, so it sits cleanly on any document.
Can I use this signature on official forms?
For ordinary paperwork, yes — most forms want an image of a signature in JPG under a size limit, which this produces. For contracts that legally require a digital signature, use a certified e-signature service.
Is my signature stored anywhere?
No. Everything happens in your browser and nothing is sent to a server. Closing the page erases it.
