How to take a good signature photo for transparent PNG removal

A dark signature on light paper is the easiest source to clean. A few minutes of setup creates a more reliable transparent PNG.

Use even light and light paper

Place the page flat and avoid a hard shadow from your hand or phone. Warm paper is fine, but strong folds and dark corners can look like ink.

Keep the camera parallel

Shoot straight down so strokes do not become stretched. Fill the frame with one signature and leave a little margin around it.

Crop nearby marks

Remove pens, stamps, printed text, and table lines before upload. The tool cannot know which nearby mark belongs to the signature.
