The first photo takes some time to update (around 20-30 sec). After that it's cached and much quicker.

How it works

  1. Upload your photo — the background is removed automatically.
  2. The signature background is already selected. Fine-tune the edges if you need to.
  3. Download the JPG, ready to upload to your form.

Everything runs in your browser — your photo is never uploaded, so it stays private.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make my signature transparent?

Upload a photo or scan of your signature on white paper. The background is removed automatically, leaving just the ink. Download it as a PNG — the transparent format — ready to drop into any document. Everything runs in your browser — your photo is never uploaded to any server, so it stays completely private.

What format is a transparent signature saved in?

PNG. JPG can't store transparency, so a see-through signature is always saved as a PNG so the background stays clear behind the ink.

How do I get the cleanest signature cut-out?

Sign in dark ink on plain white paper, take the photo in even light with no shadows, and keep the paper flat. Then use the Erase brush to clean up any stray marks.
