FAQ
Remove background from signature: Questions & Answers
How do I remove the white background from my signature?
Take a clear photo of your signature on white paper and add it here. The paper is removed and Transparent is already chosen, so tap Download PNG to get the ink on a see-through background.
What gives the best signature cutout?
Bold dark ink (a felt-tip or gel pen), plain white paper, even light with no shadows, and a photo cropped close to the signature. Very thin or faint strokes can be partly lost, so go over them with a thicker pen if needed.
How do I add the signature to a document or PDF?
Insert the PNG as a picture in Word, Google Docs or your PDF editor and place it on the signature line. Because the background is transparent, it sits on the page without a white box.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The AI runs inside your web browser, so the image never leaves your phone or computer: 0 bytes are uploaded. Only the AI model is downloaded once from this site, then remembered by your browser.
