Signature Maker

This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels

Summary

Signature makers provide canvases to draw signatures using a mouse, trackpad, or touch screen, and then store them as an image file. Digital signatures like this are usually stored in transparent PNGs so that they can be pasted to documents. For official purposes, the legal force of electronic signatures remains dependent on the rules and systems used.

Key points

Use thick lines and dark colors to read the signature
Save as transparent PNG to be pasted on the document
Cut the empty area around the scratch to make the file more neat
Image-based signatures are raster-based, not vector-based
For official documents, use an electronic signature system that complies with the rules
