Type your name, draw it by hand, or combine both. It all happens in your browser.
Getting a drawing that looks like your signature
A signature drawn on a screen rarely matches the one on paper at the first try. A few things make it closer:
- Use a phone or tablet if you can. A finger or a stylus follows your hand far better than a mouse. Open this page on the device, draw there, and send the file to yourself.
- Sign at your usual speed. Slow, careful strokes wobble. A quick one comes out smoother, and fast strokes thin out a little, as ink does.
- Sign large. Use most of the pad. The download is trimmed to your strokes, so it doesn’t matter where on the pad you sign.
- Set the pen afterwards. Pen thickness and ink color change the whole drawing, so you can adjust them once the shape is right.
- Try again as often as you like. Undo takes back the last stroke and Clear empties the pad.
The PNG is up to 2,400 pixels wide, enough to stay sharp in Word, Google Docs or on a PDF. The SVG holds the same strokes as outlines that scale to any size. To place your signature on a PDF straight away, use the free Sign a PDF tool.
If drawing isn’t working out, type your name and pick a handwriting style instead. On the main signature generator, Combo takes your drawing and gently tidies each letter against your typed name.
About drawing a signature
Can I draw a signature with a mouse or trackpad?
Yes. Hold the button down and draw; each press makes one stroke. A mouse is the hardest thing to sign with, so allow yourself a few tries, or open this page on a phone and use your finger.
Does it work on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The pad takes touch and stylus input, and the page doesn’t scroll while your finger is on the pad. Turning the device sideways gives you a wider pad.
Does it use my stylus’s pressure?
If your stylus reports pressure, pressing harder thickens the line. With a mouse or a finger there is no pressure to read, so the line follows your speed and the pen thickness you set.
Do I have to remove the background?
No. Both downloads already have a transparent background, so the signature sits on a page without a white box around it. There is no watermark.
Is my drawing uploaded or saved?
No. The drawing is made in your browser and isn’t sent to SignThis. It is gone when you leave or reload the page, so download it if you want to keep it.
Is this the same as signing a document?
No. This page gives you a picture of your signature. Putting that picture on a document doesn’t record who placed it or when. When that record matters, use the document signing service.
