Frequently asked questions
How do I make my signature with a transparent background?
Sign a sheet of white paper, take a photo of it and upload it to this tool. The paper is removed automatically and you download a PNG that contains only the stroke, with a transparent background.
How do I paste my signature into a Word document?
In Word, go to Insert, Pictures and choose the PNG. Then, in the layout options, select “In Front of Text” to place it over the signature line.
Is it safe to upload my signature here?
Yes, because it isn't uploaded. The photo of your signature is processed inside your browser and is never sent to or stored on a server.
Can I change the ink color?
Yes. You can keep the pen's original color or convert the stroke to pure black or to blue, the most common color for handwritten signatures.
Is a PNG signature legally valid?
An image of your signature is a basic electronic signature: it's accepted for many everyday purposes, but it isn't equivalent to a certificate-based digital signature. For important contracts, check which type of signature is required.
Does it work for stamps and logos too?
Yes. It works with any dark stroke on a light background: stamps, line drawings or scanned logos.
