How to save and reuse a signature on iPhone

Create a named signature once, keep it in your on-device library, and place it on future PDFs without drawing it again.

Quick answer

Create a signature from Scan or Draw mode, give it a name, and save it. The next time you tap Sign in a PDF, choose it from Saved Signatures.

    Manage the library

    Export a signature as PNG or delete signatures you no longer need. A signature in use by saved documents must be removed from those documents first.

Treat it like a sensitive file

  • Enable the app lock if other people use your device.
  • Delete signatures you no longer need.
  • Do not share a transparent signature PNG unless you trust the destination.

Questions

Can I save initials separately?

Yes. Save each signature or set of initials with a distinct name so you can choose the right one later.

Can I protect the signature library?

The app offers an optional Face ID or device-authentication lock in Settings.
