Draw it (best match to your real sign)
Draw with your finger on a phone or a mouse on a computer. Do it 3–4 times and keep the cleanest one — your first attempt is rarely your best.
Type your name in a script font
Fastest option and looks neat on typed letters. Best for internal documents and business letters where a formal look matters more than a handwritten match.
Upload a photo of your paper signature
Sign on plain white paper with a dark blue or black pen, photograph it in bright light, and let the tool remove the white background. Closest to your real signature.
📝 Make it in 4 steps
- 1.Choose your method: draw, type, or upload a photo of your signature on white paper.
- 2.If uploading a photo: use bright, even light and a dark pen. Shadows and ruled lines make background removal messy.
- 3.Download the transparent PNG. Transparency is the point — a white-box signature pasted on a coloured letter looks fake.
- 4.Place the PNG on your document with any document or PDF editor, sized like a real signature (not huge, not tiny), then export the final PDF.
📌 Where it works — and where it does not
- ✓Business letters, quotations and invoices you send as PDF or Word files.
- ✓School, coaching and shop notices where a signed look adds trust.
- ✓Cover letters and applications that ask for a signature image (not a certified e-sign).
- ✓WhatsApp business documents — a PNG signature pasted on a letter photo looks professional.
- ⚠A PNG signature is an image of your signature, not a legally certified digital signature. For court, bank KYC or government e-sign, use a licensed e-sign service instead.
- ⚠Never share your signature PNG publicly or with strangers — anyone with the image can paste it on any document.
- ⚠If a form asks for a signature in exact pixels and KB (exam forms do), use the exam signature specs, not this general maker.
❓ Common questions
Is a transparent PNG better than a JPG signature?
Yes, for documents. A JPG always carries a white box around the signature; a transparent PNG sits cleanly on any background colour or letterhead.
Which pen colour photographs best?
Dark blue or black on plain white paper, in bright daylight. Avoid gel pens that shine and ruled notebooks that add lines.
Can I use this for exam forms?
Exam forms need exact pixel and KB specs — use the dedicated exam signature tool for those. This maker is for general documents and business letters.
Is my signature uploaded anywhere?
No. The maker runs entirely in your browser — your signature image never leaves your device.
