Signature generator

Type your name or draw your signature. Download a transparent PNG or SVG you can drop into a PDF, an email, or a contract. No watermark.

Pick a style

Color

Note : a downloaded signature image is not legally binding on its own — it's just a picture. For a binding e-signature with audit trail, IP, timestamps and cryptographic proof, you need a proper e-signature flow (that's what we built JustSignNow for).

Need to actually send a contract for signing?

A signature image you paste into a PDF is fine for casual stuff, but it's not legally binding on its own — there's no audit trail, no proof of intent, no tamper-protection. JustSignNow gives you all of that for $7/mo unlimited.

How to use the signature generator

  1. Pick Type to render your name in a handwritten font, or Draw to sign with your mouse, trackpad, or touchscreen.
  2. Choose a style (8 cursive fonts) and a color (black, blue, or dark blue — the realistic ones).
  3. Click Download PNG for a transparent image you can drop anywhere, or SVG if you need it vectorial for printing.
  4. Paste your signature into your PDF, email, Google Doc, or wherever you need it.

Is a signature image legally binding?

Honest answer : not on its own. A signature picture pasted into a PDF is the digital equivalent of photocopying your handwritten signature onto a contract — it's evidence of nothing by itself. There's no audit trail, no proof of intent, no timestamp, no IP address, no way to detect tampering.

For non-binding stuff (an internal memo, a fan letter, a casual document you and the other party already trust), it's perfectly fine. For a real contract — freelance work, NDA, lease, anything where money or legal obligations are at stake — you want a proper e-signature flow with :

  • Proof of intent to sign (explicit consent, not just an image)
  • Identity attribution (email, IP, user agent captured at sign time)
  • Tamper-evident audit trail (cryptographic hash of the document at sign time)
  • Timestamp from a trusted source (we use OpenTimestamps anchoring)

That's what makes a signature legally binding under the ESIGN Act (US federal), UETA (US states) and eIDAS (EU + UK). JustSignNow handles all of it for $7/mo flat unlimited.

Frequently asked questions

Is this signature generator really free?

Yes — no signup, no watermark, no "free for 7 days then we charge you". We built this as a marketing tool for our paid e-signature product, so use it as much as you want.

Does the PNG have a transparent background?

Yes. The downloaded PNG has a fully transparent background so it blends into any document, email signature, or PDF without an ugly white box around it.

What's the difference between PNG and SVG?

PNG is a regular image — works everywhere, fixed resolution. SVG is vectorial — scales infinitely without losing quality, ideal if you need to print at a large size or want to edit later in a vector tool. Most people want PNG.

Can I use this signature in JustSignNow?

Soon — we're wiring up a "save your signature" feature so logged-in users can re-use the same drawn or typed signature across documents. For now, signing in JustSignNow uses the typed-name flow with the same fonts.

Do you store my signature?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser — your signature never touches our servers. The PNG is generated locally and downloaded directly. Reload the page and everything's gone.
