Type, draw, or upload — which to pick

Typed signatures are fastest and look good for email footers and semi-formal documents. Pick a signature font and your name appears in a plausible handwriting style. Drawn signatures (finger on phone, mouse or trackpad on laptop) are more personal but usually messier — good for contracts where a hand-drawn mark reads more authentic. Uploaded real signatures are the strongest for legal documents — sign once on paper, photograph it on a light background, upload, and the tool extracts a clean transparent PNG.

From paper to transparent PNG

The upload flow: sign a piece of paper with a dark pen on a clean white surface, photograph or scan it on your phone, upload here. The tool auto-removes the white background, crops to the signature, and outputs a transparent PNG you can drop onto any PDF or document. Nothing is uploaded to a server — the background removal runs in your browser. For a cleaner cut, pair with the background remover on tricky scans.

Using the signature in PDFs and emails

For PDFs, most readers have a signature tool that accepts a PNG. For contracts that need a specific placement, combine images and text with our image-to-PDF converter. For email signatures, most email clients let you paste a PNG into the signature settings. Keep the final PNG at 400-600px wide — bigger than needed is wasted space, smaller starts to look pixelated.
