Motionix / Your workspace
A signature you can actually download.
Draw your mark with a mouse, pen or touch, or clean a scan you already have. Preview the result, keep useful padding, and download the actual image file.
Three steps. One result to inspect.
Draw or select a scan
Use the drawing surface or a sharp scan with dark ink on light paper. Only use a signature you are authorised to reproduce.
Inspect the mark
Undo a stray stroke or adjust scan cleanup. Check that pale details survived and the export is not cropped too tightly.
Download the right file
PNG works as a transparent image. Drawn SVG stores vector paths; a cleaned scan is a raster PNG, not a traced vector.
Draw a signature online with a mouse or touch
Make the mark on the canvas and use undo if a stroke goes wrong. Ink color and stroke width change the appearance, not the identity behind the mark. The preview and exported paths should use the same coordinate system, so a smaller mobile canvas does not stretch the signature. Single dots still count as marks. Review the transparent PNG or SVG at the size where it will be placed; a broad signature reduced to a tiny email footer can become unreadable.
Remove the white background from a signature scan
A dark mark on clean, light paper is the most reliable source. Cleanup suppresses light background pixels; it cannot identify every shadow, stain or pale stroke perfectly. Adjust the cleanup setting and compare the preview before downloading. Blank paper should produce an explanation, not an empty file presented as success. PNG keeps transparency; saving it as JPEG later adds a solid background. A scan remains pixels even after cleanup, and this tool does not automatically trace it into SVG paths.
PNG or SVG for a handwritten signature?
Use PNG when the destination expects an image. SVG is available for strokes drawn here and can scale cleanly because it stores the paths, but not every document app or email client accepts SVG. Keep a PNG alternative. New strokes, undo and cleanup changes invalidate the old result so you do not download an outdated mark. Save the file before closing the tab; a preview is not an automatic backup.
A signature image is not a certificate-backed digital signature
A picture of handwriting does not by itself authenticate a signer, detect later document changes, or provide an audit trail. This tool creates visual assets; it does not sign a PDF, issue a certificate, or guarantee legal validity. Use a suitable document-signing service when identity checks and evidence are required. Do not upload a private signature to cloud sharing merely to get a local download. Keep sensitive files under your own control and only use another person's mark with permission.
Your files, with explicit choices
Image processing does not require an upload. The site and processing assets use the network. Results are not automatically backed up. Download your result and keep the original.
Frequently asked questions
Can I download a transparent signature PNG?
Yes. Draw a mark or clean a supported scan, inspect the preview, and use the actual PNG download link. Light paper removal can also remove pale ink, so inspect it first.
Why is SVG available only for drawing?
Drawn strokes have vector coordinates. A scan is a raster image; cleanup does not automatically trace it into vector paths.
Does this sign my PDF or verify my identity?
No. It exports an image or drawn SVG. It does not issue a signing certificate, add a document audit trail or guarantee legal validity.
Can I undo a stroke without clearing everything?
Yes. Undo removes the latest stroke. Regenerate the export after editing; old downloads are invalidated when the mark changes.
Why did a faint part of the scan disappear?
Light pixels can resemble paper. Adjust cleanup and use a sharper, higher-contrast original. Do not assume the automatic threshold preserved every detail.
