Why Use a Typed Cursive Signature vs. Drawing?

Drawing a signature with a mouse, trackpad, or finger can be incredibly frustrating. The results are often shaky, jagged, and unprofessional. A cursive signature maker provides a clean, elegant, and consistent autograph every single time.

Typed signatures are highly accessible, fast, and look like genuine pen-and-paper handwriting. They are particularly useful for desktop users who lack touchscreens or styluses. If you prefer drawing, you can easily switch to our Draw Signature Online tool, or upload a photo using our Sign Image Online tool.

Is a Typed Signature Legally Valid?

Yes, absolutely. Under the federal ESIGN Act (2000) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) in the United States, as well as the eIDAS regulations in the European Union, typed signatures carry the exact same legal weight as handwritten wet-ink signatures.

Legally, an electronic signature is defined as "any electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to or logically associated with a contract and executed with the intent to sign." Typing your name and choosing to place it on a document fully satisfies this definition. For a complete legal analysis, read our guide on are electronic signatures legally binding.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create a typed signature online?

Simply type your name into the text box above. Our signature generator will automatically render your name using several professional cursive fonts. Pick your favorite style, choose a color, and click Adopt or Download.

Is a typed signature legally binding?

Yes. Under international e-signature laws, a typed name on a contract or PDF is fully legally binding as long as there is intent to sign the agreement.

Are these signature fonts free to use?

Yes, all cursive fonts used by the generator (Dancing Script, Pacifico, Great Vibes, and Caveat) are open-source and free for both personal and commercial use on your documents.

Does the signature generator store my name?

No. Our tool works 100% in your browser. Your typed name is never sent to our servers. The transparent PNG is generated entirely on your own device ensuring total privacy.

How do I make my signature look like real handwriting?

Our cursive signature maker uses high-quality handwriting fonts designed by typographers to mimic real signatures. Using the dark blue or black ink color options makes it look like it was signed with a physical pen.

Can I sign PDFs on my phone using typed signatures?

Yes. The tool is fully responsive and touch-optimized. You can type your name on your phone, choose a font, and use the Adopt tool to edit and sign PDFs directly in Safari or Chrome. Read our how to sign PDFs on iPhone & Android guide for details.

How do I type my signature on a Word document?

You can type your name directly in Word and apply a cursive font like Segoe Script. However, to prevent unauthorized edits, it is best to export the Word file as a PDF and sign it using MyDigitSign. Review how to add a signature in Word.

What is the difference between an e-signature and a digital certificate?

An e-signature is a visual representation of your agreement on a page (like a typed or drawn signature). A digital certificate is a cryptographic file that locks the document data to prevent tampering. Learn more in our free digital signature certificate guide.
