Signature maker

Draw, type or photograph your signature – and download it as a transparent image.

How can I check that nothing is uploaded?

Your files are processed in this browser tab. This page has no function that sends files to a server, and its security rules (Content Security Policy) forbid connections to other servers.

Check it yourself: load this page, then switch on flight mode or disconnect Wi-Fi and run the tool. It still works – because everything happens on your device.

How it works – step by step
  1. Create your signature

    Draw it with your finger or a stylus, type your name in a handwriting-style font, or photograph your signature on white paper.

  2. Choose the format

    Transparent PNG for Word (DOCX) and e-mails, SVG as a vector for design programs – or both.

  3. Download

    Save the files. With “Remember on this device” the signature is also ready in “Sign PDF”.

Why FaLe?
  • Cleanly cut out

    The background is transparent and the signature tightly cropped – for photos the paper and shadows are removed.

  • A real vector

    The SVG file contains the outline of your signature as a vector and stays sharp at any size.

  • Stays with you

    Your signature is never uploaded. It is only remembered if you want – and only in this browser.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a legally valid electronic signature?

It is an image of your signature. That is fine for many everyday documents, but it is not a qualified electronic signature. Where a handwritten signature is required, sign on paper.

How do I get the signature into Word (DOCX)?

Download the PNG and insert it as a picture. Because the background is transparent, the signature sits cleanly on the line.

What is the difference between PNG and SVG?

PNG is a pixel image that almost every program understands. SVG is a vector that stays sharp when enlarged, but isn’t supported everywhere.

How do I get a good photo?

Sign with a dark pen on white paper and take a straight photo from above in good light. The “Sensitivity” slider also picks up light strokes.

Is my signature stored?

Only if you tick “Remember on this device” – then in your browser on this device. You can delete it at any time.
