How the Signature Generator Works
In Type mode, the tool renders your name on an HTML5 Canvas using Google Fonts' handwriting typefaces. Each font is loaded dynamically from Google's CDN. The canvas applies the selected color and size, adds a decorative underline flourish using quadratic bezier curves, and renders the result ready for export.
In Draw mode, the canvas captures mouse or touch input as a series of coordinate points. These points are connected using quadratic bezier curve interpolation (not straight lines), which produces smooth, natural-looking curves that mimic real pen strokes. Each stroke is stored as a separate path object with its own color and width.
The SVG export in type mode embeds the font-family reference and text element. In draw mode, it converts the paths to SVG path elements with proper stroke attributes.
