Frequently asked questions

How can I make my signature transparent for a PDF?

Is it safe to upload my signature online?

What file format should I use for a signature with no background?

You should use the PNG file format for a transparent signature, since it supports transparent backgrounds and preserves crisp lines and high resolution. In other words, your signature won’t become blurry or pixelated.

Can I use a photo of my handwritten signature?

Yes, you can use a photo of your handwritten signature; our tool will detect any background and remove it. However, make sure there’s a high contrast between the writing and the background, and use a high-quality camera for the best results.

Will the quality of my signature be preserved?

Yes, the quality of your signature will be preserved, as our signature background remover doesn’t change the writing itself. Furthermore, when you save it in a lossless format, like PNG, you preserve the sharpness, so when you sign a PDF, the signature looks practically the same as it does in its physical form.

Can I use the signature for legal documents?

Yes, you can use the signature for legal documents. The only exceptions might be certain documents that traditionally require a wet signature, usually related to inheritance, trusts, and adoption.

Do I need to install any software?

No, you don’t need to install any software; you can remove the signature background online using our tool. Simply open the remover in your browser, upload your image, and download the finished result.

Can I add the transparent signature directly to a PDF?

Yes, you can add a transparent signature to a PDF directly in our PDF editor. Just upload the image of your signature and place it in the document.

Is there a limit to how many signatures I can process?

No, there isn’t a limit on how many signatures you can process a month. You can use our PDF signature editor as much as you want.

Can I use this tool for non-signature images?

Yes, you can use this tool for non-signature images that contain some kind of written text. It can recognize and remove background in these instances, too. However, its primary purpose is to remove signature backgrounds, so we can’t guarantee perfect results for other purposes.

What file formats can I upload?

Sign PDF, Word (DOC, DOCX), JPG, and PNG documents online. Your file opens in the editor, where you upload a signature image and the background is removed automatically.
