How To Create A Transparent Signature (Free, 2024)
You're probably here because you want to create a transparent signature — one that has no background, and the only colour on your signature image is the ink.
At SignHouse, we've got an online signature generator that lets you design your very own transparent signature in only a few seconds.
Without any further ado, let's jump right into the tutorial.
What is a transparent signature?
A transparent signature is an image containing a signature, without any background. The only colour in this picture is the signature itself.
Transparent signatures are useful especially when you want to attach your signature over a bit of text without covering it in a square, but rather only in the shape of your signature.
To achieve a transparent signature, the image must be in the PNG format. It is the best format for images lacking a background — just what we're looking for!

When downloading your signature, it will be transparent as we'll save it in the PNG format, which allows no colour to be in the background.
