Exact pixel size on a white background, saved as a JPG under your KB limit.
Why it is different
Why this signature maker is better
Most signature generators give you a thin, even line and a single PNG. This one is built to look like real ink and to fit the forms and documents you actually sign.
Draw, type or upload
Sign with a mouse, finger or stylus, type your name in six handwriting styles, or turn a photo of your paper signature into a digital one.
Photo cleanup built in
Paper, shadows and grey tones are removed automatically. You can also recolor pale pen ink to crisp black or blue.
Ready for online forms
Export the exact pixel size a portal asks for, such as 140 × 60 px, as a JPG under a KB limit like 20 KB.
Every format you need
Transparent PNG for documents, white JPG for uploads, SVG for sharp printing at any size, and copy to clipboard.
Private by design
Your signature is created on your device and never uploaded, stored or logged. Close the page and it is gone.

Good to know
Is an online signature legally valid?
A signature image is a simple electronic signature. It is widely used for everyday forms, invoices, letters and many agreements where both sides accept it.
It is not a certified digital signature. In India, the Information Technology Act, 2000 gives special legal status to certified Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) and Aadhaar eSign, and some filings require them. Other countries have their own rules, and a few documents still need a wet-ink signature. Check what your document requires, and ask a lawyer if you are unsure.
Tips for a clean, professional signature
- Use black or dark blue ink. Both print and scan clearly.
- Sign at normal speed. Slow, careful signing looks shaky.
- Turn your phone sideways. Landscape gives you a wider pad.
- Keep it consistent. Use the same signature on every document.
- Store it safely. Treat the file like a password and do not post it publicly.
