What people use Typed Signature for

  • Producing a signature quickly when you have no touchscreen or scanner.
  • Creating a consistent signature for routine internal documents.
  • Generating a signature image from a name in a script typeface.

Typed Signature: limits and things worth knowing

  • The result is your name rendered in a handwriting-style font, not a reproduction of your actual handwriting. It is legible and consistent, and it is also trivially reproducible by anyone who knows your name.
  • For anything consequential — contracts, deeds, anything contested — a drawn signature or a proper e-signature service with an audit trail is more appropriate.
  • The output is a transparent PNG that can be placed on any document.

Is it private and secure?

Your privacy is built in. Typed Signature does all processing on your own device using client-side code, so your files are never transmitted, stored or seen by anyone — including us.

Network activity: none. Nothing is sent and nothing is fetched. This tool makes no network request at all once the page has loaded — which is why it keeps working if your connection drops.

You do not have to take that on trust — our privacy proof page publishes the Content-Security-Policy that enforces it, lists every third party it permits, and shows how to verify the whole claim yourself.

We also measured the competition. Our PDF upload audit recorded how many bytes each of 20 online PDF tools actually transmits: 12 of the 13 measurable services uploaded the whole test file, and Filevane transmitted 0.00 MB.
