Signature Maker
Draw or type a signature image locally. This creates an image; it does not sign or verify a document.
Draw a signature image
Use a pointer, mouse, or touch
Draw inside the frame. An empty tap is ignored. For a keyboard-accessible route, choose Type.
Type a signature image
Use a local handwriting style
One line, up to 60 Unicode characters. Outer spaces are trimmed; internal spaces stay.
Draw and type without changing pages
Use Draw when you want your own pointer or touch movement. Use Type when you want a clean handwriting-style rendering from a keyboard. Switching tabs preserves both drafts in memory, and the preview and download controls always follow the selected tab. Undo removes one completed drawn stroke; Clear asks for a second click and affects only the active draft; Reset asks again before clearing both.
Transparent PNG and genuine drawn SVG
PNG output is cropped around visible ink with transparent padding, then rendered at 2× or 4× resolution within a maximum of 3,200 × 1,040 pixels. Drawn SVG contains only bounded path elements and fixed stroke properties—no script, external URL, embedded image, user HTML, or font-dependent text.
Typed signatures are PNG-only in this version. A font-based SVG can change when opened elsewhere, while embedding PNG pixels inside SVG would not make the result true vector artwork. The two bundled handwriting fonts and their license notices are served from ToolNeko; unsupported writing systems use a clearly named local system fallback.
A signature appearance is not signing evidence
This tool makes a reusable image of a signature appearance. The image by itself does not establish identity, intent, association with a particular electronic record, document integrity, or an audit trail. ToolNeko does not describe the downloaded file as a signed or verified document and does not decide whether any particular signing process is legally valid.
The U.S. electronic-signature definition linked below refers to an electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted with intent. If those facts matter, use a document-signing process designed to capture them rather than treating an image download as the complete record.
Local processing and practical limits
Your typed characters, normalized stroke points, preview pixels, and SVG path data are processed locally in the browser and are not uploaded. When you request a download, your browser creates the file and you control the saved copy. There is no account, hosted link, PDF editor, photo cleanup, animation, video, cloud renderer, or AI stylization. Anonymous measurement records only the fixed tool identity and action names—never the signature content, colors, filename, points, paths, image, or file bytes.
A drawing is limited to 20 completed strokes and 10,000 ordered points. Typed text is one visible line of up to 60 Unicode code points. These bounds keep mobile interaction and local export predictable. Once the page and local fonts have loaded, new text and drawings can still be previewed and downloaded after the network is disconnected.
Frequently asked questions
Does this signature image sign a document?
No. ToolNeko creates an image only. The PNG or SVG alone does not establish who made it, an intent to sign, an association with a particular record, or an audit trail. Use an appropriate document-signing workflow when those facts matter.
Can I draw or type my signature?
Yes. Draw and Type are tabs in the same editor. Each draft stays in memory while you compare modes, until you clear that mode, reset both drafts, or leave the page.
Is the PNG background transparent?
Yes. Both drawn and typed PNG exports use transparent pixels around the ink. The 2× option is the default; 4× stays within 3,200 by 1,040 pixels.
Why is SVG available only for a drawn signature?
A drawing can be represented as genuine path geometry. Typed handwriting depends on local font glyphs, so v1 exports it as PNG instead of calling font-dependent text or an embedded raster a portable vector signature.
Where do my signature text and strokes go?
They stay in this browser's memory and are used locally to make the preview and file. ToolNeko does not upload or auto-save the text, points, preview, SVG paths, or exported bytes. Your browser controls the downloaded file.
What happens with accented names or other writing systems?
The bundled Caveat and Dancing Script styles cover Latin text including common accents. When text needs other glyphs, the preview visibly switches to a local system handwriting fallback rather than silently dropping characters.
