# Create a Digital Signature

> Draw your signature with mouse, finger or stylus, or photograph it from paper, and save it as a PNG with a transparent background. For PDFs, Word and email.

For forms you fill in on your computer, you need your signature as an image. It looks best if you sign on white paper, take a photo and let the tool remove the background. Drawing on your phone works well too.

## How it works

1. Draw, type your name or upload a photo of your signature.
2. Adjust color and stroke width, document blue looks like a ballpoint pen.
3. Save as PNG or SVG and insert it into your document.

## FAQ

### Is it a legally valid signature?

For many everyday cases like orders or internal forms, an inserted signature is fine. Where the law requires a handwritten original, it does not count.

### Is my signature stored anywhere?

No. It is created in your browser and gone once you close the page, unless you downloaded it.
