By scenario

Choose by input, not by keyword variation

Have a photo

Clean an existing signature

Upload the signature you already use when the real problem is removing paper, shadows, and excess whitespace before document placement.

Need to draw

Create a handwritten mark

Use the draw-only workflow when you want mouse, touch, or trackpad input without unrelated typed controls.

Need a style

Type a name and compare

Use the typed or name-specific workflow when choosing a readable script style matters more than reproducing handwriting from paper.

FAQ

Choosing a signature tool

Which tool should I start with?

Start with Transparent Signature PNG if you have a photo or scan. Use the handwritten tool to draw from scratch, Type Your Signature to compare fonts, or the name tool to test full-name and initials variations.

Can I create a signature without a photo?

Yes. Draw with your mouse or finger, or type your name and compare script fonts. If you already have a paper signature, take a clear photo and use background cleanup.

Do all four tools export transparent PNG?

Yes. Transparent PNG is the shared output because it is the most reusable format for PDF, Word, and Google Docs.
