About SignGen

What it is

An image maker. You either pick one of eight handwriting typefaces and style it (ink, slant, size, flourish), or you draw your own signature on the pad. Either way you download a PNG at twice the canvas resolution, with an optional maximum file size for portals that impose KB limits. Nothing is uploaded: the fonts, the drawing code and the exporter all live in the page you loaded.

What it is not

SignGen is not an electronic-signature service in the legal sense. It provides no identity verification, no signing ceremony, no document hashing, no audit trail and no certificate — the things that give services like DocuSign their legal standing under e-signature laws. An image produced here should be used where a signature picture is what is wanted: form specimens, document decoration, email sign-offs, artwork. Where a qualified or certified e-signature is required, use a proper e-signature provider. And a signature must only ever be your own: generating or using an image of someone else's signature is forgery.

The fonts

The eight signature styles are open-source typefaces, self-hosted on this site (no font files are loaded from Google Fonts or any CDN when you visit):

• Great Vibes — designed by TypeSETit.
• Allura — designed by TypeSETit.
• Dancing Script — designed by Julieta Ulanovsky.
• Caveat — designed by Pablo Impallari.
• Kalam — designed by the Indian Type Foundry.
• Homemade Apple — designed by Font Diner.
• Sacramento — designed by Astigmatic.
• Parisienne — designed by Astigmatic.

All eight are licensed under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1, which permits use and embedding including in images like the ones this tool produces. Our thanks to the designers for releasing them openly.

Who made this

SignGen is part of a family of small, single-purpose web tools built by Jimmy | ORBITFRAME, an independent front-end and WebGL developer. The other tools are linked in the footer — each does one job, in the browser, for free.
