How to use a transparent signature PNG in Word, Google Docs and PDFs
Cursive, handwritten or calligraphy?
Every font in the generator falls into one of three styles. Pick the one that fits how you want to come across.
Cursive signatures
Joined, slanted letters written in one flow. The most common choice for an everyday signature.
Handwritten signatures
Looks like real pen on paper: uneven, informal, personal. Good when you want it to feel natural.
Calligraphy signatures
Thick-and-thin strokes and big capitals. Formal, elegant, made for contracts and certificates.
Signature generator FAQ
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.
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. This is general information, not legal advice.
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.
