# Signature

> Capture a handwritten or typed signature from respondents and save it to Airtable.

The signature widget adds a signature pad to your form. Respondents can draw a signature with their mouse or finger, or type their name to generate a styled signature. The result is saved as an image attachment in your Airtable table.

## When to use signatures

* Contracts and agreements that need a signature
* Consent forms for events, programs, or medical intake
* Delivery confirmation forms
* Approval workflows where a sign-off is required

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Respondent signs">
    The respondent draws their signature on the pad or types their name, depending on the mode you chose.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Signature is captured as an image">
    When the form is submitted, the signature is converted to a PNG image.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Image is saved to Airtable">
    The PNG is uploaded to the attachment field you selected. It appears as a file attachment in the record.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  The signature pad works on both desktop (mouse) and mobile (finger or stylus). Draw mode gives the most natural-looking result on touch devices.
