How to extract a handwritten signature
Signature facsimile in PNG with a transparent background — in a minute
SigCleaner cuts out only the handwritten signature: it removes the background, the stamp (even if it overlaps), and extra form text. The finished file is easy to insert into contracts, acts, and any other documents.
When this mode is needed
Use the "Signature" extraction if the image contains a signature and a stamp overlapping each other, and you need only the handwritten signature.
Step-by-step instructions
Upload an image
Upload a photo, scan, or PDF with a signature. Additionally, on a phone, you can take a picture directly with the camera; on a computer, you can import it from your phone's camera.
Crop the signature area
Select the area with the handwritten signature. If there is a stamp or other elements in the image, you can leave them in the frame — the extraction mode will remove them.
Enable signature extraction
Check "Extract individual elements" and select "Signature".
The service will keep the handwritten signature and remove the rest.
Optional: Aggressive mode
If the signature overlaps form text or there are many lines nearby, enable "Aggressive mode". This removes printed letters, numbers, and straight lines more strongly.
Download the transparent file
After processing, compare the result and download the PNG to insert into your document.
