Have you ever tried to insert a picture of your signature into a Word document or Google Doc, only to find that it has an ugly white box around it that covers up the text or the signature line?

This looks unprofessional and makes it obvious that you just pasted an image. The problem isn't your signature; it's the file format.

The Problem: JPG Files

When you scan a paper with your signature or take a photo with your phone, it usually saves as a JPG (JPEG). This format does not support transparency. Even if the paper looks white, the computer sees it as "white pixels," not "clear pixels."

The Solution: PNG with Alpha Channel

To look professional, you need a PNG (Portable Network Graphic) file with an active Alpha Channel (Transparency). This tells the computer: "Display the black ink, but make everything else invisible."

Where to use Transparent Signatures

• Email Signatures: Add a personal touch to your Gmail or Outlook footer.
• Graphic Design: Place your signature over photos in Canva or Photoshop for watermarking.
• Word/Docs: Drag it over the "Sign Here" line without blocking the line itself.

Stop using MS Paint or phone photos. Generate a clean, digital signature in seconds.
