What is a transparent signature PNG?
A transparent PNG stores an alpha channel instead of a solid white rectangle around the signature. That lets the mark sit naturally over a document, slide, or image.
Where can I use a signature PNG?
Insert it as an image in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, presentations, photo editors, or a PDF editor that accepts image placement. SignatureOdyssey creates the image; it does not sign or certify the underlying document.
Already have a signature photo?
Extract a signature from an image instead of recreating it.
Why does a transparent signature PNG look white?
Some image viewers place transparent pixels on a white canvas. Place the PNG over a colored document or image to check whether the background shows through. The checkerboard preview is not exported. If a white rectangle came from an existing scan, use the background remover before inserting it.
Resize proportionally in Word or your image editor. Enlarging a PNG beyond its exported dimensions can soften edges; choose the existing SVG paths export when your destination accepts vector artwork.
