Elegant, formal — good for legal & wedding signatures.

Flowing copperplate — common for invitations.

Brush-pen feel — works well for artist signatures.

Generated signatures are decorative renderings of typed text. They are not a substitute for a legally binding wet ink or qualified electronic signature on contracts. Use them for email sign-offs, social profiles, blog posts, and PDF watermarks.

How to pick the right cursive signature for you
The right script depends on where the signature will live. Below is the working rule we use when designing brand assets at CursiveToText.com:
- Legal / professional context — Allura or Great Vibes. Both are copperplate-derived and read as deliberate and formal, but stay legible at small sizes.
- Creative / portfolio sites — Alex Brush or Pacifico. The chunkier strokes hold up against busy backgrounds.
- Email signatures — Dancing Script at 36–44 px. Larger loops compress poorly on retina displays; thinner fonts disappear in dark-mode clients.
- Print on light paper — Satisfy or Sacramento. The medium stroke weight survives inkjet bleed and 300 DPI scanning.
SVG vs PNG vs HTML — which export do I want?
SVG stays crisp at any size; use it for letterheads, large prints, and embedding on a website. PNG is the safe choice when you need to drag the signature onto a PDF, an image editor, or a presentation. HTML is the only format Gmail, Outlook and most webmail clients will render in a signature block; paste it into the signature settings panel of your email client and the receiver sees real text rendered with the chosen Google Font.
Is this a real, legally binding signature?
No. A typed name rendered in a cursive font does not meet the requirements of a wet-ink signature or a qualified electronic signature (QES) under eIDAS, ESIGN, or UETA. It does count as a simple electronic signature in many jurisdictions when used to indicate intent in email correspondence, but for contracts you should use a dedicated e-signature service like DocuSign, Adobe Sign or HelloSign that captures audit-trail metadata.

Your name is never sent to a server. The signature is rendered locally in your browser using Google Fonts CSS, and the PNG/SVG export is generated on your own device.
