How to use

  1. Upload a signature photo

    Sign on white paper and upload a photo or scan. Make sure the signature is clear on as white a background as possible.

  2. AI cuts a transparent signature

    The AI removes the paper background, keeping the ink strokes, to produce a transparent PNG.

  3. Insert into documents

    Download the transparent signature and place it in contracts, documents, or designs—sign or watermark as needed.

FAQ

Is the cutout signature legally valid?

The tool only digitizes your signature into a transparent image. Legal validity depends on the use case and local e-signature laws—use it within a compliant signing workflow.

Do I need to sign on white paper?

Sign on plain white paper with a dark pen and upload—the purer the background, the cleaner the cut. Lined or cluttered paper may leave traces.

Are the ink strokes preserved?

The AI preserves the stroke outline and weight. A clear, high-contrast, glare-free photo gives the best result.

Can I insert it into a PDF contract?

Yes. Export the transparent PNG and use a PDF editor or Word to place it at the signature line, then resize.

Can I use it as a document watermark?

Yes. Layer the transparent signature on certificates or designs to mark ownership. Lower the opacity for a watermark effect.
