Signature Pad — Draw & Download PNG

Draw a signature in the box with a mouse, trackpad, stylus or finger, then download it as a PNG with a transparent background, ready to drop into a contract, PDF or email footer. Pick the pen colour and thickness, undo a stroke you are unhappy with, and export at 1×, 2× or 3× for a crisp result on high-resolution documents. Trimming crops the file down to the ink so there is no empty margin around your name, and you can switch to a white background when a form will not accept transparency. Unlike most online signature services, this one never sends the drawing anywhere: the canvas is rendered and exported entirely in your browser, so your signature stays on your device.

How to use

  1. Draw your signature in the dashed box using a mouse, trackpad, stylus or finger.
  2. Adjust the pen colour and thickness, and use Undo to remove the last stroke.
  3. Choose a transparent or white background, then click Download PNG.

Frequently asked questions

Is my signature uploaded anywhere?
No. The drawing lives only in your browser's canvas and is exported locally with the standard canvas-to-PNG call. There is no server round-trip and no storage — closing the tab discards it. That is the main reason to prefer this over a hosted e-signature site for a quick image.
How do I put the signature into a PDF or Word document?
Download the transparent PNG and insert it as an image, then resize it over the signature line. Transparency means the paper or form behind it still shows through. If your tool renders transparency as black, re-export with the white background option instead.
Why does the exported image look sharper than the box?
Export re-draws your strokes as vectors at the scale you choose rather than enlarging pixels, so 2× or 3× stays smooth. Pick a higher scale when the signature will be printed or placed in a high-resolution PDF.
Is a drawn signature legally binding?
That depends on your jurisdiction and the document. Many places accept an image of a signature for ordinary agreements, while others require a qualified or certified e-signature with an audit trail for things like property or court filings. This tool produces an image, not a certified signature, so check the requirements that apply to your document.
