Why Use Digital Signature For Gravity Forms?
Gravity Forms does not include a native signature field. This plugin fills that gap cleanly — adding a smooth, touch-friendly HTML5 canvas signature pad that works just like any other Gravity Forms field. It is the simplest way to capture meaningful, handwritten e-signatures as part of any form submission workflow in WordPress.
Unlike third-party e-signature services, everything stays inside your own WordPress installation. Signatures are saved directly to Gravity Forms entries, visible in the admin dashboard, and can be included in email notifications — all in the free version.
Free Features

- ✅ Clear / Reset Button — A dedicated button lets users erase and redraw their signature before submitting
- ✅ Custom Note / Instruction Text — Add a custom instructional notice message below the signature pad to guide users on what to sign or agree to
- ✅ Required Field Support — Mark the signature field as required so the form cannot be submitted without a drawn signature

FAQ
-
Does this plugin require Gravity Forms?
-
Yes. Gravity Forms must be installed and activated on your WordPress site. This plugin registers a new field type directly within the Gravity Forms editor and does not work without it.
-
How is the signature captured and stored?
-
When a user draws their signature and submits the form, the signature canvas is converted to a PNG image using the HTML5 Canvas API. The image is saved to your WordPress uploads directory and its URL is stored with the Gravity Forms entry. The signature is then viewable in the entry detail view in your admin dashboard.
-
Is the signature included in Gravity Forms email notifications?
-
Yes. The signature image is supported in Gravity Forms email notifications and can be referenced using a merge tag in the notification settings.
-
Does conditional logic work with the signature field?
-
Yes. The signature field fully supports Gravity Forms conditional logic. You can show or hide the signature field based on the values of other fields in the same form.
-
Can I make the signature field required?
-
Yes. You can mark the signature field as required from the field settings panel, and set a custom validation error message that is displayed if the user attempts to submit the form without drawing a signature.
-
Can I customize the colors of the signature pad?
-
Yes. The free version includes full control over the pad background color and the pen/ink stroke color via color pickers in the field settings panel.
-
Can I adjust the pen stroke thickness?
-
Yes. A pen width setting is available in the free version. You can increase or decrease the stroke weight to get the signature line thickness that looks best for your form.

-

Is the signature pad mobile-friendly and touch-compatible?
-
Yes. The signature pad uses native touch event handling and works smoothly on iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. Users can sign with a finger or a stylus.
