Open the image or PDF file that you want to sign in Preview (or initiated Quick Look by selecting the file and pressing Space).As we said above, as of macOS Mojave you don’t even need to open up Preview to do so. Once you’ve got a signature saved in Preview it’s incredibly easy to add it to this or any other image file in future. Try to hold it steady, and match the writing to the guide line.

Scribbling it on a trackpad is the quicker method (press any key when you’re finished, followed by Done). There are two ways to create a digital signature: Trackpad, and Camera.If you’ve created any signatures, they will be listed and available here, but you can also click Create Signature to make a new one, followed by Click Here to Begin.You should now see the bar of editing features, starting with Text Selection on the lefthand end and including Sketch, Draw, Shapes and, seventh from the left, an icon that looks like a scrawled bit of handwriting.Click the Markup Toolbox icon – the pen in a circle just to the left of the search field – to open the editing tools, if the toolbar isn’t open already.

Alternatively, depending on the file type simply double-clicking on a pdf or other image file may open it in Preview by default. Or just drag a file on to the Preview icon in the Dock, if it lives there. Note, we’ll walk you through using Preview to do this, but once you’ve got everything set up you will be able to insert the signature from Quick Look without even open the Preview app!
