How to use this tool

  1. Photograph or scan a signature on clean white paper.
  2. Move the threshold until paper disappears and ink stays solid.
  3. Choose black or blue ink, then download the transparent PNG.

Example

A higher threshold keeps lighter pen strokes; a lower threshold removes more paper shadows and noise.

How it works

Remove the white background from a scanned signature and download a transparent black or blue PNG. The browser decodes the source, processes its pixels with Canvas and creates a new downloadable file locally.

Frequently asked questions

Does this use AI?

No. It uses grayscale, threshold and alpha processing in Canvas, which is fast and private.

How do I get the cleanest result?

Use even lighting, white paper and a dark pen. Crop the source close to the signature first.
