Electronic Signature: Draw & Download Your Signature | Free

A Not really. PNG exports run about 50-200 KB, while SVG files stay under 10 KB because they store coordinates instead of pixels. You can shrink PNG size by selecting a smaller canvas dimension before drawing. A 200x200 pixel canvas gives you roughly a 30 KB PNG, which works well for most documents. Try the 150x150 option if you're adding signatures to emails.

A That's just the canvas preview running at 72 DPI for performance. SVG files store mathematical curves, so they render perfectly smooth at any zoom level. Try exporting and opening the SVG in a browser — you'll see the difference immediately. For PNG exports, use the 600x400 canvas size. That gives you enough resolution to avoid visible pixelation on most screens.

A Nope. Zero signup required. You just open the page and start drawing on the canvas right away. This makes it perfect for quick one-off signatures or for technical writers who need to drop a signature into documentation without dealing with account overhead. Everything runs client-side — your drawing never touches a server. No email, no password, no tracking.

A Yes, touch screens work great with this tool. Grab your phone or tablet, open the page, and draw with your finger or a stylus. The canvas detects multi-touch devices automatically, so you won't need a mouse. Social media managers often use this on iPads to sign digital assets before uploading. For best accuracy on smaller screens, switch to portrait mode and use the 300x150 canvas preset.

A Most modern versions handle SVG fine, but there are quirks. Microsoft Word supports SVG insertion from Insert > Pictures, though you might lose some transparency if you edit it there. Google Docs accepts SVG uploads to Drive, then inserts them via Insert > Drawing > From Drive. If you hit a snag, the PNG with white backing works everywhere — just be sure to pick the 600x400 canvas so it stays crisp. A quick test on your target app before finalizing saves you the headache.

A That happens when you pick the 'download as PNG' option without enabling transparency first. Check the checkbox labeled 'transparent background' right above the download buttons — it defaults to a white canvas. With that box ticked, the PNG ships with an alpha channel, so the background disappears completely. One catch: some image viewers render transparency as checkerboards, which can look odd on first glance. Also, remember to export at 600x400 if you plan to drop the signature into a PDF at full size, otherwise it'll look soft.

A It runs entirely in your browser, so once the page loads, you can disconnect from Wi-Fi and keep drawing. All the rendering happens locally on your device, which means zero lag and total privacy. If you're on a train or airplane with spotty signal, just load the page first, then go offline—your signature will still export perfectly. One caveat: if you close the browser tab, your work disappears. Save your download before navigating away.

A Not in the same export. The canvas only captures whatever you draw, so a typed name won't appear unless you write it yourself. That said, plenty of people sketch their initials first, then add a printed name underneath using the same stroke tool. If you need both formats, export the handwritten SVG, then open it in Figma or Inkscape and drop a text layer on top. Takes about 2 minutes.

A Hit the clear button on the toolbar whenever your hand slips mid-stroke. You won't need to reload the whole page just to start over. Most users take three or four tries to get a clean sweep. Take your time with every single curve.

A The browser forgets your stroke data the moment you close the tab. Browsers don't save your drawings because the tool runs entirely client-side for privacy. Downloaded PNG or SVG files sit safely in your Downloads folder instead. Just double-click that saved file next time you need to sign an invoice. Storing files locally keeps your signature out of remote databases entirely.
