Making a typed signature look right
A typed signature is your name set in a handwriting style. It takes a few seconds, and a few choices decide how it reads:
- Type your name the way you sign it. Capitals have their own shapes in these styles, so “Alex Morgan” and “alex morgan” look different. Initials such as “A. Morgan” work too.
- Try each style with your own name. A style that suits one name can crowd another. The preview changes as soon as you choose, so compare all six.
- Add an underline if it looks bare. The option draws a stroke beneath the name in the same ink.
- Choose the ink for the document. Black and blue are the usual choices for paperwork.
- No drawing needed. Everything here works with a keyboard alone, which helps when signing with a mouse is awkward.
The PNG is an image up to 2,400 pixels wide. The SVG holds the letters as outlines, so the file looks the same on a computer that doesn’t have the font. To place your signature on a PDF straight away, use the free Sign a PDF tool.
Want your own handwriting instead? Draw your signature. On the main signature generator, Combo uses both: you type your name and draw it, and it tidies each letter.
About typed signatures
Which style should I pick?
Elegant, Classic and Flowing are formal, slanted scripts. Everyday and Handwritten are closer to quick, legible handwriting. Bold is a thick brush style that stays readable when small. Try your own name in each before you decide.
Can I use accents and other characters?
The styles cover the Latin alphabet, including the accented letters of most European languages. If a style is missing a character in your name, the tool says so and you can try another style. For a name in another script, draw your signature instead.
Can I type initials or a middle name?
Yes. Type exactly what you want to appear, up to 80 characters: a full name, initials, or a name with a middle initial.
Is a typed name a valid signature?
It can be. Many electronic signature laws look at whether a person meant to sign, not at how the mark was made, but the rules depend on the document, the parties and local law, and some documents need more. This page makes the image only. Check what your document requires.
Is my name sent anywhere?
No. Your browser downloads the style fonts from this site and puts the signature together on your device. Your name isn’t sent to SignThis, and nothing is kept after you leave or reload the page.
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.
