There used to be a time when adding your signature to a document meant printing it, signing it with a pen, scanning it back, and attaching it to an email. That process was fine in 2008. But we’ve moved on.
Now, you can draw your signature online once and use it across everything — contracts, forms, PDFs, emails, even digital art. The trick is having a reliable way to do it without downloading software, creating an account, or hitting a paywall.
That’s exactly what we built SignPace for.
If all you need is a clean, professional electronic signature, this guide walks you through exactly how to create it — and where to use it.
Why People Need to Draw a Signature Online
Let’s start with a few everyday situations where this matters:
A client sends over a contract and needs it signed “today”
HR sends an onboarding doc and expects a response in the next 10 minutes
Your kid’s school asks for a signed permission form — but only accepts digital uploads
You’re a freelancer trying to add a real signature to your invoice or proposal
You don’t have a printer, scanner, or time to mess with workarounds
All of these situations share one thing: they’re urgent, common, and simple — and they all need your signature, fast.
What Does “Draw Your Signature Online” Actually Mean?
It’s exactly what it sounds like. Using a mouse, stylus, trackpad, or your finger (on mobile), you create a digital version of your handwritten signature — in your own style — right inside your browser.
The result is an image of your signature (usually in transparent PNG format) that you can reuse anywhere digital.
This type of signature is often called an electronic signature — not to be confused with a cryptographic “digital signature.” In most day-to-day business, electronic signatures are legally valid and widely accepted.
How to Draw Your Signature Online Using SignPace
We kept the process dead simple. Here’s how it works:
1. Visit SignPace.com
You’ll land on the main signature creation page. No sign-up. No loading time. You’re ready to go immediately.
2. Use Your Mouse, Stylus, or Finger to Draw Your Signature
If you're on a desktop or laptop, just use your mouse or trackpad.
On a phone or tablet? Your finger or stylus works great.
You can also switch to typed signature mode and pick a font if that’s more your style.
3. Download or Email Your Signature
Once you’re happy with how it looks, click “Download” to save it to your device. You can also send it to your email with one click.
We don’t store anything — it’s your signature, and it stays with you.
What File Format Is the Signature?
Your signature is downloaded as a transparent PNG file, which means:
It works great when overlaid on documents
It doesn’t have a white box behind it
It looks natural on most forms, contracts, PDFs, etc.
You can also upload it into any other signing tool or use it directly in image editors, PDFs, Google Docs, Microsoft Word, and more.
Where Can You Use Your Electronic Signature?
Once you’ve drawn and downloaded your signature, here’s where people typically use it:
Sign PDFs using our Sign Document tool
Insert into Word or Google Docs (just insert the image)
Paste into Canva or other design platforms for certificates or templates
Upload into email signatures or proposals
Attach to invoices, letters, memos, or legal docs
Use it in contract signing tools that allow image uploads
You now have a reusable signature that travels with you. It's your new default.
