A signature field allows visitors to electronically sign their names before they submit a form. Signature fields are useful for health waivers, registration forms and application forms. All signatures are saved in your form submissions dashboard.

> **Important:** The signature field is a premium feature. Learn more about [upgrading Wix Forms](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-forms-upgrading-wix-forms).

1. Choose from the following customization options:  
   * **Field title**: Give a short title that tells people what you are asking for in the field.  
   * **Allow image upload**: Enable the toggle to allow people upload an image of their signature instead of signing with their mouse or trackpad.  
   * **Required field**: Enable or disable the toggle to make the signature field mandatory or optional. If required, site visitors need to sign the form before submitting.  
   * **Field description**: Add a field description if your form needs additional explanation (e.g. terms and conditions or additional legal information for health waiver forms)  
   * **Personal information (PII)**: Protect personally identifiable information (PII) like addresses and passport info with an additional layer of protection.

> **Good to know:**
>
> * Once the form is submitted, a preview image of the visitor's signature will appear in your [form submission table](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-forms-viewing-and-managing-a-submissions-table). You can download the table’s contents, however the PDF will only display “Signed” without an image of the signature.
