# Signature Maker

> Signature Maker is a free app for iPhone, iPad and Android that signs PDFs and photos on your phone: draw, type or scan your signature once, place it on any page, then save and share. The site also offers a free online signature generator.

Signature Maker is primarily a mobile app for iPhone, iPad and Android that creates a reusable signature (draw, type or scan it from paper) and places it on PDFs and images, then saves or shares the signed file.

The site also offers a free online signature generator at https://trysignaturemaker.com/tools/signature-generator: type a name in one of 14 handwriting fonts or draw a signature with a mouse, finger or stylus, choose the ink color, and download a transparent PNG cropped to the signature. No sign-up, no watermark; it runs in the browser and uploads nothing.

## FAQ: the app

### How do I sign a PDF on my phone?

Install Signature Maker for iPhone or Android and create your signature once (draw, type or scan it). Tap + under Documents and pick a PDF or a photo, tap Add Signature, drag and resize the signature where it belongs, then tap Save Document. You can then save the signed file to your phone or share it by email, messaging or AirDrop.

### How much does the Signature Maker app cost?

The app is free to download and free to use for creating signatures and signing documents. An optional Premium subscription, bought inside the app, removes ads. You can restore or manage your subscription from the app's Settings.

### Can I use my real handwritten signature?

Yes. In the app, choose Scan, take a photo of your signature on white paper (or pick one from your photo library), crop it, and adjust brightness, contrast, exposure and saturation until the background disappears. You can also draw it on the screen with your finger or a stylus, or type it in one of five handwriting fonts.

### Can I sign an image, a screenshot or a photo of a paper document?

Yes. Signature Maker signs images (JPG, PNG and other photos from your gallery) as well as PDF files. That makes it easy to sign a photographed paper form, a screenshot or a scanned page.

### Is a typed or drawn electronic signature legally binding?

In most everyday cases, yes. In the United States the ESIGN Act (2000) and UETA say a signature cannot be denied legal effect just because it is electronic, and the EU eIDAS Regulation recognises simple electronic signatures too. Exceptions include wills, some family-law and court documents, and anything that must be notarised or requires a qualified signature. What makes a signature binding is your intent to sign; if in doubt, ask the party that requested it. This is general information, not legal advice.

### What is the difference between an electronic signature and a digital signature?

An electronic signature is any electronic mark that shows you agree to a document, such as a typed name, a drawn signature or an image of your handwritten one. A digital signature is a specific, cryptographic kind: it uses a certificate to prove who signed and that the file was not changed afterwards. Signature Maker creates electronic signatures, which is what most forms, leases, permission slips and invoices need.

### Where are my signatures and documents stored?

Your saved signatures and the documents you add are kept inside the app on your phone. When you tap Save Document, the app sends that document and the position of your signature to the Signature Maker server, which returns the finished signed file. The free online signature generator never uploads anything.

### Can I save more than one signature?

Yes. The app keeps as many signatures as you like, each with its own name (for example "Work signature" or "Initials"), so you can pick the right one for each document. Long-press a signature to export it as an image or delete it.

### Does the app work on iPad and Android tablets?

Yes. Signature Maker runs on iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets. A larger screen is handy for drawing your signature with a stylus such as Apple Pencil.

### Is there a free web version?

Yes, for creating the signature itself. The free online signature generator lets you type your name in 14 handwriting fonts or draw it, and download a transparent PNG, with no sign-up. To place a signature on PDFs and photos, use the app.

## FAQ: the signature generator

### Is this signature generator really free?

Yes. The online signature maker is free with no sign-up, no watermark and no download limit. It runs entirely in your browser, so the name you type and the signature you draw are never uploaded.

### How do I make a transparent signature PNG?

Type your name and pick a font, or switch to "Draw it" and sign with your mouse, finger or stylus, then press Download PNG. The file has a transparent background and is cropped tightly around the ink, so it sits cleanly on top of a document, a photo or an email.

### Which signature fonts can I use?

The generator has 14 cursive, handwritten and calligraphy fonts. The Signature Maker app includes Great Vibes, Allura, Sacramento, Kaushan Script and Pacifico. All of them are licensed under the SIL Open Font License, so you can use the result for personal and business documents.

### How do I put my signature PNG on a PDF?

On a phone, the Signature Maker app places your signature on any page of a PDF or photo and saves the signed file. On a Mac, use Preview's Sign tool. In Word or Google Docs, insert the PNG as an image and set it to sit in front of the text.

### Can I draw my signature on a phone or tablet?

Yes. Open this page in your phone or tablet browser, switch to "Draw it" and sign with your finger or a stylus. Turn the phone sideways for a wider canvas.
