Make a transparent signature PNG

Sign a sheet of white paper, take a photo, and get a clean signature with no background. It stays on your device.

  • Your signature is never uploaded
  • Transparent PNG for Word, Google Docs and PDF editors
  • Free, no account

Your photo is processed on this device and never uploaded.

Background

Free downloads are up to 1000 px with a small watermark. Pro gives full resolution, no watermark and batch ZIP downloads.

Batch is a Pro feature

The free version handles one image at a time, so we're cutting out the first one now. Pro processes a whole folder and gives you one ZIP.

Step by step

  1. Sign plain white paper with a dark pen. A felt-tip or gel pen works better than a ballpoint.
  2. Photograph it in daylight, straight on, with no shadow from your phone. Crop close to the signature.
  3. Add the photo above and download the transparent PNG.
  4. Insert the PNG into your document and resize it.

Why doing this on your device matters

A signature image is sensitive. Upload-based tools keep a copy on someone else’s server, at least for a while. Here the image is processed in your browser’s memory and never sent anywhere.

If the result looks patchy

  • Thin, faint strokes can partly disappear. Sign again with a thicker pen.
  • Lined or textured paper can leave marks. Use plain white paper.
  • Very uneven light confuses the cutout. Move closer to a window or switch on a lamp.

This tool only makes an image of your signature. Whether a pasted signature image is acceptable for a particular document depends on who you’re sending it to, so check with them when it matters.
