How to Make a Free Electronic Signature

Create a clean signature you can drop into contracts and forms, by drawing or typing it, with a transparent background.

Printing a document just to sign it and scan it back is a hassle nobody enjoys. An electronic signature lets you sign contracts, forms and letters right on your device, and you can create one for free in under a minute.

Draw it or type it

There are two easy ways to make a signature. Draw it naturally with your mouse, trackpad or finger for the most personal result, or type your name and pick a handwriting-style font if you prefer something neat and consistent. Either way, you can adjust the ink colour and thickness to taste.

Why a transparent PNG matters

The signature exports as a transparent PNG, which means it sits cleanly on top of any document without an ugly white box around it. You can drop it straight into a PDF, a Word file, or an image, and it looks like it was always there.

  • Draw or type your signature and style it.
  • Download the transparent PNG.
  • Place it into your document wherever a signature is needed.

Electronic signatures are widely accepted, but rules vary by country and document type. For anything legally important, check what applies to your specific situation.

Your signature is created entirely on your device and never uploaded, so it stays completely private.
