Create your Signature (for free)

To do all of this, you’ll naturally first need to have it the handwritten signature in digital format.

• For you to upload a signature, you need to have a file of it.
• .PNG works best→ because you have a transparent background.

Feel free to use SignHouse’s free online signature maker.

You have two methods to generate a signature:

• Either type it in, or draw it by hand.
• If you choose to type it, you can select a font you like out of over 8000 combinations.
