# Signature Generator

The Signature Generator makes a signature image from your name in a script-style font or from a drawing you make with a finger, pen or mouse, and saves it as a transparent PNG. It runs in your browser. The result is a picture, not a legally verified e-signature.

Runs on your device

## How it works

1. Choose Type it or Draw it under How do you want to sign.
2. Type your name and pick a Style, or draw on the white area. Choose an Ink color.
3. Press Make transparent PNG.
4. Press Download to save signature.png, then place it on your document.

## Key facts

- **Output**: A PNG with a transparent background, cropped to the ink
- **Typed look**: Uses script fonts already on your device, so it differs by system
- **Drawing**: Pointer input from a mouse, finger or stylus
- **Legal status**: An image only, with no identity check, timestamp or audit trail
- **Runs**: In your browser, your signature is not uploaded

## Common uses

- Add a signature image to a letter or a PDF you are preparing.
- Place a signature on a slide, a form template or a newsletter footer.
- Keep a clean copy of your handwritten signature without the paper behind it.

## Questions

### Is this a legally binding e-signature?

No. It only makes an image of a signature. A verified e-signature service records who signed and when. Whether a plain signature image is accepted depends on the document and your country, so ask who requires it.

### Is my signature uploaded?

No. The image is drawn and encoded in your browser and never sent to a server.

### Why does my typed signature look different on another computer?

It uses script fonts that come with your operating system, and Mac, Windows, Android and iPhone ship different ones. The PNG keeps the look from the device that made it.

### Is the background really transparent?

Yes. The PNG has an alpha channel, so only the ink is opaque. The white box on this page is only a guide for drawing and is not saved.
