Technological advancement has transformed many aspects of our personal and business lives — including how people append their signatures to documents. In the past when you had to print a document to physically sign it with a pen and then scan it and send it to the parties who need it; now people can sign documents digitally, making the entire process easier, and less time-consuming.
However, as much as digital signatures are more secure and faster, they lack that personal touch that people enjoy when they put their signatures on paper. Luckily, there are several services or applications that could help you to create a handwritten signature in just a few seconds. And you can use the signature to sign documents online.
This article looks at the top 3 ways to create a handwritten signature online:
Signature Maker
If you are looking to create a handwritten signature to sign your online documents with, then consider Signature Maker. It is a user-friendly tool and also very fast. You can use it to make your handwritten signature through any web browser, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and others. You don’t have to download or install any app, or even sign up as is the case with some other services.
Besides creating a handwritten signature for your online document signing, Signature Maker can come in handy in making an email signature irrespective of your email provider — Gmail, Outlook, etc. This kind of personalized email signature can include your contact information and even a photo.
Signature Maker is a free tool and supports multiple operating systems including Linux, Windows, Mac, and mobile devices.
signNow
signNow is another tool that can help you to create a handwritten signature to use on your online documents. With this tool, you can create digital signatures within a few minutes and avoid the many hassles of printing, signing hardcopies and scanning them.

Another of the significant benefits of signNow as a tool for creating handwritten signatures is that it allows you to make a signature that you can be confident in that it has a professional look, and can be legally binding because it is so close to your original signature.

Conclusion
You can add a personal touch to your online documents by including your signature on them.
