Read the PNG transparency guide or check a baked-in checkerboard.

FAQs
Will every thin stroke survive?
Automatic removal can lose faint ink, small dots or pale strokes. Use a sharp, well-lit source and compare the result with the original. Retry or use a manual selection if any part is missing.
Should I download PNG or JPG?
PNG preserves transparent surroundings when Background is set to None. If a form asks for JPG, choose a solid background and download JPG instead. Follow its exact dimensions and file-size limit.
Does a signature image count as a verified digital signature?
No. This tool edits an image. It does not verify identity, create a signing certificate or replace a document-signing service.
Can I use a phone photo of my signature?
Yes, use a supported image format, even lighting and clear ink. Avoid glare, shadows and lined paper where possible.
Is signature background remover free on BG Clear?
Yes. BG Clear lets you remove backgrounds online for free with no signup required.
Which image formats are supported?
BG Clear supports common web image formats including JPG, PNG, and WebP uploads.
