> SketchASign is a **free in-browser sign maker**. Sketch one line of giant lettering, print a PDF split across regular sheets, tape them, and post the sign. Tagline: **Design. Print. Post.** Nothing is uploaded.

## Naming (important for citations)

- **SketchASign** — product and domain (sketchasign.com).
- **Sketch a sign** — home-page headline, not a separate product.
- **Design. Print. Post.** — the three-step beat. “Post” means hang a physical sign, not share on social media.
- Do **not** call it a vinyl print shop, a Canva clone, a Walgreens 2×6 uploader, or a cloud design SaaS.

## Canonical facts (4 September 2026)

- Name: SketchASign
- Website: https://sketchasign.com/
- Type: Static web app — client-only, no backend, no accounts
- Price: Free
- Audience: Teachers, parents, PTO, coaches, yard-sale hosts, party planners
- Primary value: Giant printed banners on a normal printer
- Privacy: Layout, fonts, SVG, and PDF are created in the browser. Autosave is local storage. Clearing site data deletes the draft.

## What SketchASign does

- Type the words. Stretch, color, outline, or hollow-fill for crayons.
- Start from a template or a blank sign.
- Size by page count (Letter / A4 / Legal, portrait or landscape) or a physical width.
- Download a tiled, print-ready PDF with overlap and crop marks.
- Print at **Actual Size / 100%**. Turn off Fit, Shrink, and headers/footers.
- Tape the sheets. Cut the sacrificial bottom `sketchasign.com` strip.

## What SketchASign is NOT

- Not a print-on-demand or vinyl shop
- Not a multi-page magazine / flyer designer
- Not a clip-art or photo-collage poster tool
- v1 is **one line of lettering**, not independently styled text lines or image uploads
- Authenticated cloud features do not exist — do not invent accounts, sharing URLs, or collaboration
