How to Set Up Your Signature

Your saved signature is the mark Inkfree applies whenever you sign — set it up once and every future signature is one click. Here's how to create a signature you'll be happy to see on documents for years. 

Steps 

1.  Click your avatar in the top bar and select My Profile. Then scroll down to the Signatures & Initials section. 

2.  Click Add Signature and choose your method: 

•  Draw — sign with your mouse, trackpad, or finger (easiest on a touchscreen). 

•  Type — type your name and pick a script style you like. 

•  Upload — photograph your real ink signature on white paper and upload the image. 

3.  Repeat for your initials — many documents ask for initials on every page, so set both now. 

4.  Save. 

Tips for a Great Signature 

•  Drawing on a phone or tablet produces a much more natural stroke than a mouse. 

•  If you upload a photo, good lighting and a clean white background make the extraction crisp. 

•  Your signature's legal validity doesn't depend on its beauty — a typed signature is exactly as binding as a drawn one.
