How to add your signature to a photo

A handwritten signature makes a photo feel authored, not just posted. Draw it once with your finger — or import a scan — and sign every photo after that in one tap.

Two ways to get your signature into the app

Draw it. Open the Signature tool and sign with your finger, exactly like signing for a delivery. Slow, larger strokes come out smoother than a quick scribble — and you can redo it as many times as you like before saving.

Import it. If you love your pen-on-paper signature, sign a white sheet, photograph it in good light, and import the image. The signature keeps its handwritten character on the photo.

Step by step

1. Pick the photo you want to sign.
2. Tap Signature in the toolbar and either draw a new signature or pick a saved one from your library.
3. Place it. Bottom corners are the classic spot — the same place a painter signs a canvas. Drag it into position and scale it with the size slider.
4. Match it to the photo. Adjust opacity so the signature sits in the photo rather than on top of it. On dark photos, a white signature usually reads better than black.
5. Save. Every signature you draw or import is kept in your signature library, so the next photo is one tap.

Who signs their photos?

Artists posting work-in-progress and finished pieces. Portrait and wedding photographers who want deliveries to feel personal. Bakers, florists, makers — anyone whose product photos are their portfolio. A signature says "I made this" in a way a typed name can't.

Signature plus logo

Signatures and logos aren't either/or. A common combination is a logo for business posts and a signature for personal work — both live in the app, both apply in one tap, and both work in batch.
