# Signature maker

Draw or type a signature and save it as an image, in your browser. A picture of a signature is not a signed document.

## What it is for

Draw a signature with a finger or a mouse, or type your name and choose a style, and save it as an image with a clear background. It is made in your browser and never uploaded. Use the image anywhere you need a signature picture.

## Drawing tips

Draw slowly and large; the image is scaled down afterwards. On a phone, turn it sideways for more room. Press clear and try again as often as you like.

## What it is not

A picture of a signature is not itself a signed document. To collect real signatures with a record behind them, send a document through Docustay.

## Why it stays in your browser

The drawing and the typed name are made on a canvas inside this page. Nothing is sent to a server, so a signature you make here is as private as a signature on a piece of paper until you choose to save it somewhere.

## What the image is for

Save it as a transparent-friendly PNG to put into a document you are preparing yourself. It is a picture. A signed document also needs the record of who agreed to what and when, which is what a sealed Docustay copy and its certificate page carry.
