Signature Generator—Create Signatures Online for Free

May 15, 2023 by Hung Nguyen

Use the PDF eSign tool to create your electronic signature online for free. No account is needed to create signatures and sign documents.

We have an online tool you can use to sign documents electronically at any time. However, if you prefer to save a template of your signature in either PDF or JPG format for future use, that’s also possible. Check out the instructions below.

How to Generate a Signature Online

Open our online signature tool .

Drag and drop an empty PDF into the toolbox.

Click “Your Signature” on the right-hand side.

Draw, type, or upload your signature.

Click “Create” and drag it onto the document.

Hit “Finish & Sign” when you’re done.

Download your signature as a PDF.

If you want it as an image, convert it to JPG .

How to create your own signature with the Smallpdf Signature Generator

Once you’ve generated an online signature, the format you want to save it in depends on your needs. If you want to sign many documents, JPG is the way to go. You can drag and drop an image onto almost any text editor, including Word, Google Docs, and TextEdit. If you want to include your personal signature in your email signature, the JPG format also works best. Most email providers should allow you to edit your email signature via their settings page.

On the other hand, if you need to store the signature or share it as part of a signature request, you should save it in PDF format. Of course, you can also opt for both—the tools are free to use!

Sign PDFs Online for Free

You can upload any PDF document to our eSign tool to create a signature and sign the file electronically. If you have a contract or form in a different format, you can first convert it to PDF with our all-in-one PDF Converter , and then use our signature maker to sign the file.

As a free user, you create a standard electronic signature when you create a signature or sign a PDF with our online signing tool. If you need a digital signature, consider getting a Smallpdf Pro subscription , which enables digital sealing. Best of all, we’ll also streamline your signing process with various additional benefits, such as file storage, signature storage, and unlimited access to our web service. Remember to check in with local laws on the legality of digital and electronic signatures in your country.

What is a Digital Signature?

What is an /S/ Signature?

3 Things to Know About a Digital Signature

We often get questions about what digital signatures are and how to sign a PDF online. Some of our most frequently asked questions are shown below.

#1: Does typing your name on a form and clicking submit hold up as a legal signature?

• Anyone can just type a name or attach a signature picture file on a form. To be fully lawful, there must be a method to verify that the inputted name belongs to the person it represents. For example, in the ApproveMe eSignature platform , we use a digital certificate to prove that the person who will sign PDF document is who they say they are. In addition, digital certificates are issued by certificate authorities (CA); CA's check who you are when they issue the certificate. The certificate then becomes a digital version of you.
• When you electronically sign a digital document or upload PDF online, the signed PDF file needs to be tied to the electronic signatures itself. This ensures that if anything changes in the contract, for example, someone changing a clause from "I will pay $1000" to "I will pay $100", the change in the file will record and be spotted.

#2: How can eSignatures or digital signatures mean anything?

The introduction of eSignature laws that gave legal weight to electronic signatures are what adds meaning to them. eSignature laws such as ESIGN and UETA in the USA, and EU Directive 1999/99/EC in Europe outlined the legal requirements of electronic signatures making them as valid as wet (handwritten) signatures on legal documents.

#3: What is meant by a wet, digital or electronic signature?

A wet signature is a handwritten signature made by using a pen on hard copy paper. A digital signature is the process by which an electronic signature is used to sign documents online.

What does your signature say about you?

The way you sign your name is special. It's unique. It represents you. Many experts believe that the way your name is signed can reveal who you are as a person in life and even in business.

Here are a few things that handwriting experts look for in determining your personality based on your signature alone:

Small letters:

Small letters in your own signature may be an indicator that you are shy, possibly quiet and withdrawn. A small autograph does, however, say that you are meticulous and can stay focused on tasks that require a high level of concentration.

Larger letters:

Larger than life letters are the trademark of an outspoken person with a lot of self-confidence, and are generally someone that loves attention. It's been said before that you could be a bit dreamy and sometimes even naive.

Consistent letters:

Consistent and average sized letters indicate a well adjusted and adaptable individual. If all letters are equal in size, this generally indicates that you are a modest and shy person.

Legibility:

Many handwriting experts believe that people who consistently have an incoherent or illegible signature are arrogant and assume that everyone already knows (or rather should know) who they are.

The opposite can be said for people with an easily readable John Hancock. You are open, honest, and you have nothing to hide because you are truly happy with yourself.

Stylized letters:

A John Hancock that is over the top fancy and ornate is generally an indicator of a creative, boastful and passionate individual that loves attention. A line cutting through the middle of your signature could be an indicator of unhappiness and a person who is sensitive or extremely self-critical.

Underlined signature:

If you sign with an underline that could mean that you are selfish and have a sensitivity for recognition and status. A signature with a line that is a little bit above your name means you are generally a high achiever, ambitious and proud.

What would the handwriting experts say about your signature?

How to Write a Signature (Like a Boss)

One of the most famous autographs, Walt Disney’s beautiful and fully legible signature, later became the logo of one of the largest companies in the world.

This was achieved by taking the signature as inspiration for the logo, keeping the same little unique touches, like how Disney dotted the “i” and the unique, all-caps handwriting. None of this was created by accident. Walt Disney was an artist himself and clearly took pride in the signature he designed.

The signature was stylized by taking existing elements and making them more consistent and identifiable.

The result? One of the most famous images in the modern world and an icon of pop culture.

Learn from it:

While not all of us can design a signature as famous and iconic as Walt Disney’s, we can still draw an iconic signature.

Keep it simple, using one or two flourishes to draw attention to your name, not away from it.

Bad examples

Although many controversial things can be said about Donald Trump, we will only focus on his signature.

Although Donald Trump has made a huge effort to boost his name to fandom, going as far as naming a wide array of products with his last name, his signature certainly lacks that branding.

Love it or hate it, the first thought of many while looking at the signature is “I could draw that.” while no one needs a highly complex signature, the lack of cross on the “T” and the general style make this signature nearly illegible, even if all the letters are there.

This translates into an unreadable signature with no flourishes or identifiable features besides its barrenness.

Instead of going for a simple signature, aim to create a signature that at least displays your initials clearly so people can quickly connect it to your name.

Here are some answers to commonly asked questions about signatures:

What is a signature?

A signature is a handwritten or digital image depicting someone’s name or identity. A signature allows someone to give their legally binding agreement to a document or contract and ties the image to a specific person.

What are the different types of signatures?

There are three main types of signatures. A wet signature is simply a physical mark created by someone and written down. Clickwrap signatures are simple ticks on boxes like you use when accepting terms and conditions. Finally, a digital signature is the electronic version of a wet signature, where an authentication mechanism captures a timestamp of the signing process to make it legally binding.

What is a signature maker?

A signature maker is a website that allows you to create a new signature for signing documents online. These make it easy to create a fully personalized signature quickly.

What should a signature look like?

Although there are no rules, a signature usually includes a person’s name, initials, or a combination of both. Although some signatures are illegible, they usually keep at least the first letter capitalized or increase the size of the first letter to make the initials the focal points.

How do I find the right signature for me?

The best way to find the right signature is by looking for inspiration and writing the signature multiple times and in multiple variations. You can write letters with different styles and try connecting other letters when appropriate.

If you want your signature to look stunning and replicate it easily, you can learn calligraphy and find inspiration in different flourishes and styles.

How can I improve my signature?

You can improve your signature’s current style by looking for ways to personalize it and make it stand out. Choose your first initial and try drawing it in different styles. Instead of signing with just an initial, you can try making your signature longer or adding a flourish on the last letter.

Look at your current signature’s favorite elements, and make sure you’re using those when improving your signature.

How to write a signature: Conclusion

A good signature doesn’t necessarily need intricate designs or complex flourishes. Instead, create a signature that’s easy to replicate while remaining iconic enough to be memorable.

IS E-SIGNATURE.IO LEGAL?

The Global and National ACT (ESIGN), it is an American law that says the use of electronic signatures or electronic records is legal. It is the core example for anyone reading this part on our website that they can easily avail the use of e-signature for business or personal purposes throughout the world. In general, different countries have set up different laws for e-signatures. However, the majority of the countries do accept e-signatures. But, you need to ensure whether your country allows the e-signature on documents and contracts or not. Based on that, you can consider the e-signature.io for your legal documents or contracts.

HOW CAN YOU SIGN A DOCUMENT BY E-SIGNATURE.IO?

After that, you need to save the Signature on our device. Whenever you want to sign a document or contract, you can simply use that signature in the signature area. However, you need to know that the document or contract has to be in digital format so you can easily use the e-signature on it. Otherwise, you couldnot use the e-signature on the hard-format papers.

3 IMPORTANT THINGS TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT E-SIGNATURE

1) WHAT IS MEANT BY ELECTRONIC / DIGITAL OR WET SIGNATURE?

An Electronic or Digital signature is a process by which online documents are signed. On the other hand, the handwritten signature made with the help of a pen and used on a hard copy paper is known as the wet signature.

2) HOW DO DIGITAL or E-SIGNATURE MEAN ANYTHING?

The most important Laws such as EU Directive 1999/99/EC, and ESIGN/UETA in the USA, make the use of Digital or E-signature legal and valid similar to the Wet Signature for legal documents. Therefore, it holds a lot of importance these days in several countries and it has become a necessity for a lot of people.

3) DOES TYPING NAME & CLICKING ON THE SUBMIT BUTTON CONSIDERED A LEGAL SIGNATURE?

As per various international regulations, it is not considered legal. The UETA and ESIGN say that you have to consider legally binding e-signatures for the authoritative documents. Only typing the name and considering clicking on the submit button isn't the best practice at all. Why? Because it tends to create several issues because of the Rules and regulations set up about it. Below are a few reasons that can help you to understand it in a better way.

First of all, just typing your name in the signature or just attaching the file on a form is not authoritative. There is always a method where the signatures are fully verified based on what a person has put on it. If you just type your name, the signature will become universal and anyone can type the same from their side. So, there would be no authority left to the signature at all.

Whenever you upload an online PDF or document, the document that you have uploaded has to be truly tied with the e-signatures themselves. In this way, anyone who is changing the information from the document can easily analyze it on the spot and you will remain safe from any sort of issues, which is very important to understand.

E-Signature Core Benefits for Industries:

Across Industries, everybody has to sign different types of documents that are concerned with clients and business processes. So, the use of E-signature can make various benefits for industries people. But, what are those core benefits? Let's talk about them in the below sections.

No Time and Location Restrictions:

You have the option of creating the signature at any time and any place without any hurdles. Whether you believe it or not, work from home has become a norm in the current century. Why? Well, the 2019 pandemic situation has transformed various industries to continue their services without coming to the office. It has helped a lot of the industry owners in terms of minimizing the investments in hefty office maintenance. Just like a person doesn't need to be in the physical location, similarly, the person doesn't need to have the documents on-hand to sign it. Everything can be done with the help of an E-Signature. Moreover, various clients have various timings of work, so there would be no reason for you to think about the timings to sign the signature, which is amazing.

Good Experience:

The experience of an e-signature can't be measured or equalized with the one that is done on the physical document. Being a customer, you can easily sign on a lot of your daily life documents by just creating a one-time e-signature and saving it on your smart device, laptop, or PC. Every time you have to sign the documents, you can do it by just pasting the signature onto the desired section and let your work done. It's a better source of building trust, which is a positive thing.

Work Flow Gets better:

The workflow gets better when you consider the e-signatures formula for signing the documents. In other words, for the one who has access to the electronic documents and who has signed it, every detail will show up to you, which makes the entire procedure quite meaningful and easier.

Key Foundations of Signatures:

Whatever way a person considers to sign its name, it reflects the personality a person attains. In other words, the universal key foundations are there that tell about the type of personality a person holds whenever signing the document. So, let's take a look at the key foundations.

Completeness :

Different peoples have different ideas in their minds when considering a signature for themselves. If you are trying to create a sort of sign that is incomplete; it shows that you are an independent person. Alongside, the incomplete signature also refers to a personality that is conservative and doesn't want to appear that open to the public. On the other hand, a person with a complete name or nickname on the signature considers one who is quite open about their life and is more confident towards daily life activities.

Legibility:

The second important foundation of a signature is legibility. As a person, if you have considered a signature name that is very much viewable, then you have a legible signature. On the other hand, if you have considered a signature name that is very difficult to read or understand, it shows that you have considered illegibility into it. Illegibility doesn't consider a negative thing at all, it's all about analyzing the personality of the person.

Three different angles have been initialized by the experts into a Signature such as Straight, Descending, and Ascending. These three angles pretty much tell about the type of personality you contains as a person. So, it's good to understand what all three angles pretty much say about it.

Straight: The Straight angle signatures define the personality of the person as Organized, Well-mannered, and balanced.

Descending: The descending angle signature tells the personality of the person as more focused on the activities happening in life. In other words, such signature holders tend to be more on avoiding fewer risks in their life.

Ascending: The last Angle of the signature tells the personality of the person as a creative one. Yes, such a type of person tends to have some ambitions in their life and wants to do something outstanding.

The spacing words refer to the personality situations where a person wants to be a bit far from other people. In other words, the more spacing a person considers in the signature names, it tells that he/she doesn't want to be that closer to others. Just like in normal life, there are two types of persons; such as introverts and extroverts. Here, more spacing shows that a person is introverted but less spacing shows the opposite, extrovert.

Many peoples tend to do the signature with light pressure on the paper. On the other hand, many people put a lot of pressure at the time of signature. With light pressure, the lines tend to be lighter and the more pressure gets darker lines. In both situations, the personality of the person in a normal life varies. The one who is considering more pressure into the signature tends to have very strong sentiments in their real life and tends to do the tasks quickly. On the other hand, the light-pressure peoples tend to have tolerance and calmness in their personality.

If you have an outgoing and friendly personality, you tend to have a signature with large letters on it. On the other hand, peoples who are shy and quiet tend to have small size letters on their signatures. Both of the size types have their pros and cons in the personality of a person.

The last important foundation of the Signature is the Style. In the real life, different peoples have different styles, which can easily be analyzed. Passionate and creative-type personalities tend to have a more glossy and stylish type of signature.

If a person is using symbols in the signature; it tells about the personality as self-made and conservative or someone who stays serious in life. Meanwhile, the signature that ends with a flick tends to show the personality of the person as energetic.

Determinations in the personality of persons can be considered with the signature that has long lines into it. Moreover, those signatures that have underlines into it portray the personality as proud.
