Syncfusion Flutter SignaturePad library is written in Dart for capturing smooth and more realistic signatures and save it as an image to sync across devices and documents that needs signatures.
This library is used to capture a signature through drawing gestures. You can use your finger, pen, or mouse on a tablet, touchscreen, etc., to draw your own signature in this SignaturePad widget. The widget also allows you to save a signature as an image, which can be further synchronized with your documents that need the signature.

- Rich customization - The widget allows you to set the minimum and maximum stroke widths and the stroke color for a signature. Also, you can set the background color of the SignaturePad.
- More realistic handwritten look and feel - The unique stroke rendering algorithm draws signatures based on the speed of the drawing gestures, along with the minimum and maximum stroke thicknesses, which brings a more realistic, handwritten look and feel to your signatures.
- Save as image - Save the drawn signature as an image to embed in documents, PDFs, and anything else that supports using images to denote a signature.

Import the following package.
import 'package:syncfusion_flutter_signaturepad/signaturepad.dart';Add the SignaturePad widget as a child of any widget. Here, the SignaturePad widget is added as a child of the Container widget.
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: Container(
child: SfSignaturePad(),
),
);
}
Update elements such as stroke color, minimum stroke width, maximum stroke width, and background color to capture a realistic signature. In the following code example, the SignaturePad is added inside a Container widget to get a size for it.
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: Center(
child: Container(
child: SfSignaturePad(
minimumStrokeWidth: 1,
maximumStrokeWidth: 3,
strokeColor: Colors.blue,
backgroundColor: Colors.grey,
),
height: 200,
width: 300,
),
),
);
}You can save the signature drawn in the SignaturePad as an image using the toImage() method as shown in the below code example in Android, iOS and Desktop platforms. Since this toImage() method is defined in the state object of SignaturePad, you have to use a global key assigned to the SignaturePad instance to call this method. Optionally, the pixelRatio parameter may be used to set the pixel ratio of the image. The higher the pixel ratio value, the high-quality picture you get. The default value of the pixel ratio parameter is 1.
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
GlobalKey<SfSignaturePadState> _signaturePadKey = GlobalKey();
return Scaffold(
body: Column(
children: [
Container(
child: SfSignaturePad(
key: _signaturePadKey,
backgroundColor: Colors.grey[200],
),
height: 200,
width: 300,
),
RaisedButton(
child: Text("Save As Image"),
onPressed: () async {
ui.Image image =
await _signaturePadKey.currentState!.toImage();
}),
],
),
);
}This is similar to the mobile and desktop platforms. You can save the signature drawn in the SignaturePad as an image using the toImage() method as shown in the below code example in web platform (Desktop browser). Since this toImage() method is defined in the state object of SignaturePad, you have to use a global key assigned to the SignaturePad instance to call this method. Optionally, the pixelRatio parameter may be used to set the pixel ratio of the image. The higher the pixel ratio value, the high-quality picture you get. The default value of the pixel ratio parameter is 1.
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
GlobalKey<SfSignaturePadState> _signaturePadKey = GlobalKey();
return Scaffold(
body: Column(
children: [
Container(
child: SfSignaturePad(
key: _signaturePadKey,
backgroundColor: Colors.grey[200],
),
height: 200,
width: 300,
),
RaisedButton(
child: Text("Save As Image"),
onPressed: () async {
ui.Image image =
await _signaturePadKey.currentState!.toImage();
}),
],
),
);
}You can save the signature drawn in the SignaturePad as an image using the renderToContext2D method as show in the below code snippet. Since this renderToContext2D() method is defined in the state object of SignaturePad, you have to use a global key assigned to the SignaturePad instance to call this method.
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
GlobalKey<SfSignaturePadState> _signaturePadKey = GlobalKey();
return Scaffold(
body: Column(
children: [
Container(
child: SfSignaturePad(
key: _signaturePadKey,
backgroundColor: Colors.grey[200],
),
height: 200,
width: 300,
),
RaisedButton(
child: Text("Save As Image"),
onPressed: () async {
//Get a html canvas context.
final canvas = html.CanvasElement(width: 500, height: 500);
final context = canvas.context2D;
//Get the signature in the canvas context.
_signaturePadKey.currentState!.renderToContext2D(context);
//Get the image from the canvas context
final blob = await canvas.toBlob('image/jpeg', 1.0);
//Save the image as Uint8List to use it in local device.
final completer = Completer<Uint8List>();
final reader = html.FileReader();
reader.readAsArrayBuffer(blob);
reader.onLoad.listen((_) => completer.complete(reader.result));
Uint8List imageData = await completer.future;
}),
],
),
);
}N> Since Flutter uses two separate default web renderers, here we have two different code snippets to convert signatures to images in desktop and mobile browsers. Please refer to this Flutter web-renderers page for more details.
You can clear the signature drawn in the SignaturePad using the clear() method as show in the following code snippet. Since this clear() method is defined in the state object of SignaturePad, you have to use a global key assigned to the SignaturePad instance to call this method.
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
GlobalKey<SfSignaturePadState> _signaturePadKey = GlobalKey();
return Scaffold(
body: Column(
children: [
Container(
child: SfSignaturePad(
key: _signaturePadKey,
backgroundColor: Colors.grey[200],
),
height: 200,
width: 300,
),
RaisedButton(
child: Text("Clear"),
onPressed: () async {
ui.Image image =
_signaturePadKey.currentState.clear();
}),
],
),
);
