About typed signatures

A typed signature is the quickest way to get a clean, repeatable signature image: you type your name, the tool renders it in a genuine handwriting font, and you download it. Unlike drawing with a mouse or trackpad — which is fiddly and rarely looks like your real autograph — a script font gives an elegant, consistent result every time. The trade-off is that it's a stylised signature rather than your unique hand, which is exactly what you want for letterheads, email sign-offs, certificates and routine internal forms.

Choosing a style. The 16 fonts here span the range from formal to friendly. Flowing connected scripts like Great Vibes, Allura, Alex Brush and Tangerine read as classic and executive; rounder fonts like Pacifico and Cookie feel modern; and the marker and print styles — Permanent Marker, Caveat, Indie Flower — look like a quick personal scrawl. Because every font bundled with this page is stored locally as a small .woff2 file, none of your input is sent to Google Fonts or anywhere else; the rendering happens entirely on the canvas in your browser. Export a transparent PNG to layer the signature over a PDF, or an SVG when you need it razor-sharp at any size.

Frequently Asked Questions

This tool turns typed text into a signature using handwriting fonts — you get a neat, consistent result without a steady hand or a stylus. If you'd rather draw your own stroke by hand, use our draw-it signature maker instead. Many people generate a styled name here and a hand-drawn one there, then pick whichever fits the document.

All 16 script fonts are bundled with the page as local .woff2 files, so nothing is fetched from Google Fonts or any third-party CDN while you use the tool. That keeps it private and means it keeps working even offline once the page has loaded.

PNG with a transparent background is best for dropping onto documents, PDFs and forms because it sits cleanly over any colour. JPG is smaller but always has a solid background. SVG is a vector — it scales to any size without going blurry, ideal for print or for editing later in design software.

This produces a stylised image of your name, which is fine for many everyday and internal documents. Whether it counts as a binding electronic signature depends on your jurisdiction and the document — formal contracts may require a certified e-signature service with an identity and audit trail. Check your local rules.

Yes. Whatever you type renders in the chosen font, so full names, middle initials, “Dr.”, professional credentials or a business name all work. Longer text shrinks to fit, and the letter-spacing slider helps keep decorative scripts readable.

Different script fonts have very different default spacing. Use the letter-spacing slider — negative values pull letters together for a tight cursive look, positive values open them up for clarity. Pair that with the size slider until the proportions feel natural.

Yes — when “Transparent background” is ticked, the PNG and SVG export with a fully transparent canvas, so only the inked letters show. Untick it (or choose JPG) if you specifically need a white background, for example when placing the signature on a dark template.

Yes. The page is responsive, so you can type your name, swipe through the font gallery, and download the signature directly on an iPhone or Android device.

Flowing formal scripts such as Great Vibes, Allura or Tangerine read as elegant and business-like, while Caveat, Indie Flower or Permanent Marker feel casual and personal. Preview your actual name in several — a style that looks great on “Signature” can look different with your letters.
