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. 

Creating Your Signature 

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.
