Animated signature generator: draw it once, watch it sign itself

Draw your signature with a mouse, finger or stylus. Todrawn Scribe replays it stroke by stroke and exports a free looping GIF or a 720p or 1080p video, in your browser.

A real Todrawn Scribe run from 5 November 2026, recorded from the browser preview: a made-up signature drawn with the mouse in three strokes and replayed by the Fineliner on blank Paper in 16:9. 9 seconds, no audio and no export end card.

How to make an animated signature

Draw your signature

Open Scribe and switch to Draw. Sign on the canvas with a mouse, a finger or a stylus, the way you sign on paper. Undo a stroke you do not like, or clear the canvas and sign again.

Pick the pen and the paper

Choose the Ballpoint, Chisel marker, Fineliner or Pencil and an ink color. Paper with the Blank pattern gives a plain white background, and the Dark board gives light ink on near-black. 16:9, 1:1, 4:5 or 9:16 sets the frame.

Press play and set the speed

Scribe replays your strokes in the order and direction you drew them, with a 3D pen moving along each line. Set the speed from 0.5x to 2x, and the Ending setting holds the finished signature for a moment after the last stroke.

Export a looping GIF or a video

Sign in with a free account to download. A GIF loops, pauses on the finished signature before it restarts, and has no end card. Free GIFs are 480p and up to 10 seconds, and a longer signing plays faster to fit. For a video, export MP4 or WebM at 720p or 1080p. A free account exports 5 times a day, and MP4, WebM and GIF all count; each free video ends with a short Todrawn Scribe card.

When Scribe suits an animated signature

A signature that writes itself at the end of a video, in an intro or outro, on a portfolio or About page, in a newsletter or a thank-you message, or in an email signature where your mail app plays animated GIFs. Your drawing stays in your browser while you draw, preview and export unless you save a project or create a share link; for an export itself, Todrawn stores only the format and length.

When it does not

This is an animation of your signature, not an electronic signature service: it does not sign documents or prove who you are. Scribe does not turn a typed name into a signature or trace a photo of one, and it has no transparent background, so the GIF sits on white paper or a dark board. GIFs use the flat 2D render, so the ink appears without the 3D pen; videos keep the pen.
