Signature Maker (Transparent PNG)
Draw, type, or remove paper background from your signature and download a transparent PNG
Your signature is processed 100% locally in your browser and is never uploaded to any server.
This creates a signature image only, not a verified e-signature (such as an advanced or qualified signature under eIDAS). Whether it is legally accepted depends on the document and what the other party requires.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How do I make a signature with a transparent background for PDF or Word?
A. Keep the Export Background set to "Transparent PNG" (shown with a checkerboard preview) and click Download PNG or Copy Image. When placed over a signature line in Word, Google Docs, or Adobe Acrobat, the background will be completely see-through.
Q. Can I turn a photo of my signature on paper into a transparent PNG?
A. Yes! Switch to the "Remove Paper BG" tab and upload a photo of your signature written on white paper. Adjust the Paper Removal Threshold slider to erase gray paper shadows and optionally recolor the ink to solid black or navy.
Q. Why does Auto-Crop Margin matter when saving a signature?
A. Without cropping, a small signature in the middle of a large canvas imports with huge blank margins around it. Auto-Crop detects the exact ink bounding box and trims away empty space so your signature scales properly inside document fields.
Q. Is my signature uploaded or stored on any server?
A. No. All drawing, font rendering, and photo background removal happen 100% locally inside your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your signature never leaves your device.
Q. Is a signature image made here a legally binding electronic signature?
A. It is an image of your signature, not a verified e-signature. Laws such as the US ESIGN Act and the EU eIDAS regulation do recognize electronic signatures, but advanced or qualified signatures rely on identity checks and tamper-evident sealing that a pasted image does not provide. Whether an image signature is accepted depends on the document type and on what the other party or authority requires, so check first for important contracts.
