PNG file ready for overlays
Use the PNG export when the signature has to sit over a PDF field or approval area without rebuilding the mark again.

Intent
Signature PNG file intent
Use draw or type mode, make the mark believable at real size, and export the PNG version that fits the downstream workflow instead of taking screenshots later.
Draw your signature
Use this page when the deliverable is the PNG file itself and the next step is placing it into a document or email workflow.
Draw with mouse, trackpad, or finger. Use Ctrl/Cmd + Z to undo while the canvas is focused.
How to use it
Finish the task before reading the longer explanation
- Choose draw mode if you already know the signature shape, or type mode if you want to compare name styles first.
- Adjust the stroke, spacing, and color until the signature still looks believable at a smaller document size.
- Download the PNG version you actually need, with transparent background as the default and white background only as a fallback.
Output examples
Where this export works well
Reusable in Word and Google Docs
A saved signature PNG is faster to reuse in letters, invoices, and proposals than signing each file from scratch.
Light enough for Gmail and footers
A compact signature PNG also works beside typed contact details when the email setup calls for an image mark.

FAQ
Answers tied to the exact task
What is the best format for a signature image?
PNG is usually the best format because it keeps the signature crisp and supports transparency. JPEG adds unnecessary background artifacts for most document and email workflows.
Can I make a signature PNG from typed text or drawing?
Yes. This page supports both methods. The creation mode changes how the signature starts, but the final export can still be the same reusable PNG file.
Should I export transparent or white PNG?
Transparent PNG is the safer default for PDFs, Word, Docs, and Gmail. White PNG only matters when a downstream tool renders solid backgrounds more predictably.
Why not just screenshot the signature?
Screenshots usually keep the canvas background and create a messier file. Exporting the PNG directly gives you a cleaner asset that is easier to place and resize later.
