Remove the Background from a Signature
Make a scanned signature transparent so it sits cleanly on any document, all in your browser.
Sign a sheet of paper, snap or scan it, and you're left with a signature trapped on a grey or off-white page. This tool removes that paper background and leaves just the ink as a transparent PNG you can stamp onto contracts, PDFs, and letters.

How do I remove the background from a signature?
Photograph or scan your signature, remove the paper behind it, and download a transparent PNG you can drop onto contracts and forms. The whole thing runs in your browser, so your signature is never uploaded.

Reusable e-signature

Frequently asked questions
Should I scan on white paper?
Yes, a dark pen on plain white or light paper gives the cleanest result.
Will faint pen strokes survive?
Mostly. A bold pen scans best; very light pencil can come out patchy.
Can I stamp it onto a PDF afterwards?
Yes. Download the transparent PNG and place it in any PDF or document editor.
Is my signature uploaded?
No. It's processed entirely on your device, which matters for something as sensitive as a signature.
