Sign a white sheet of paper, take a photo with your phone and drop it here. PaperWingPDF finds your signature, trims the empty paper, turns the background clean white and saves it under 20 KB.

How to resize a signature

  1. Sign on plain white paper with a dark pen and take a clear photo in good light.
  2. Choose or drop the photo. Signature and 20 KB are already selected.
  3. Change the limit if your form allows a different size, or choose Custom for exact pixels.
  4. Click Resize image and download your signature as a JPG.

What makes a good signature image

  • Dark blue or black ink on plain white paper.
  • Daylight or a bright room, without shadows across the paper.
  • Hold the phone straight above the page so the signature isn’t stretched.
  • Fill most of the photo with the signature; the empty space is trimmed anyway.

Exact sizes

Some forms ask for a signature of an exact size in pixels as well as a KB limit. Choose Custom width and height and type the pixels; the signature is fitted to that box. Check the requirement on your form, because sizes differ between portals.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my signature photo grey?

Paper photographed indoors looks grey. The Signature option turns the background white and keeps the ink dark, which also makes the file much smaller.

Is my signature uploaded?

No. It is processed in your browser and never leaves your device.
