Your e-signature in seconds
Digital documents are part of everyday work: contracts, job applications, forms and invoices. Instead of printing, signing and scanning, create an image of your signature once and drop it into any document. This tool gives you two ways to get a signature with a transparent background.
Option 1: draw it
- Sign inside the box with a mouse, your finger on a touchscreen or a stylus.
- Choose ink color (blue is common for official signatures) and pen width.
- Use “Undo” to remove the last stroke or “Clear” to start over.
- Download a transparent PNG — empty space around it is trimmed automatically.
Option 2: from a photo of your real signature
Prefer your pen signature? Sign on white paper with a dark pen and photograph it in good light. Choose the photo in the “From photo” tab and we remove the white background, keeping only the ink. Adjust the sensitivity until shadows disappear and the strokes stay crisp.
Adding the signature to documents
- Word: Insert → Pictures → choose the file, then set wrapping to “In front of text” to move it freely.
- PDF: in Adobe Acrobat Reader choose Fill & Sign → Add signature → Image. Or convert it with Image to PDF.
- Google Docs: Insert → Image → Upload from computer.
Is an image signature legally binding?
In many countries an image of your signature is accepted for everyday and internal paperwork. Important contracts and official transactions may require a certified electronic signature through a trust service provider that verifies identity with digital certificates. Check the requirements of whoever receives your document.
🔒 Your signature stays on your device and is never uploaded or stored. Only send the file to people you trust.
Frequently Asked Questions

Draw or upload your signature, then click “Transparent PNG” — PNG preserves transparency.
Does it work on phones?

Why does my photographed signature have shadows?
Raise the sensitivity, or retake the photo in even light away from the shadow of your hand and phone.
