Transparent signature: remove the background
Sign on a white sheet, take a photo with your phone and we remove the paper, shadows and background. You’re left with just the ink, as a transparent PNG to paste into your digital documents.
How to use it
- Sign with a dark pen on a white sheet.
- Take a close-up photo in good light.
- Choose the photo and adjust “Sensitivity” until the signature looks complete and clean.
- Pick the ink color and download your signature.
Why your signature never leaves your device
Your signature is sensitive data. Sites that remove backgrounds with AI upload the image to their servers; here everything happens in your browser and nobody else sees it.
Where can I use it?
In Word, Google Docs, Canva or any program that accepts images: insert it as an image and place it on the signature line. For a PDF, turn it into an image first with PDF to JPG or use a PDF editor that accepts images.
Questions and answers
Is it legally valid?
An image of your signature is a scanned signature, not a certified digital signature. It works for many informal documents, but for official paperwork check which kind of signature is required.
Gray smudges show up. What can I do?
Lower the “Sensitivity” or take the photo in more even light, without your hand’s shadow.
Can I change the ink to blue?
Yes: choose “Blue” as the ink color. “Original” keeps the color you signed with.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Everything is processed inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. Your photos never leave your device and nobody else can see them.
