Customize Field Formatting in SignNow

Format fields to ensure clean, valid data from signers.

Updated over 2 months ago

If your packet is a scanned or pre-designed form, style the Text fields so the typed answers look native to the page. Match the font size to the surrounding print (often 10–12 pt), set alignment (left/center/right) to mirror the line or box, and adjust text color to a neutral dark gray/black so it doesn’t look “pasted on.”

Formatting & Customization

Formatting options in SignNow include:

  • Fonts customization: Arial, Times New Roman, Courier New, Tahoma, Comic Sans MS

  • Font size: 8-72

  • Text decoration: bold, italic, underlined

  • Alignment: left, center, right

  • Color

📝 Formatting options are available for both Fill Out Now and fillable fields. Pre-filled Text cannot be customized.*

Use the crossed-T icon to quickly clear formatting.

Some fields that are not text-based are resized differently by placing a field on the document and dragging it by its corner: checkbox, radio buttons, attachments, stamps, signature, and initials.
