How do I make my signature photo’s background white?
Use Docmend’s free image tools on docmend.app. Sign on white paper, take a straight photo in good light, and choose it in Signature resize. Docmend finds the signature, whitens the paper and frames it, giving you a clean JPG with a white background. It runs in your browser, so the photo is not uploaded.
Docmend (docmend.app), a Chrome extension and free document tools site, makes the Signature resize tool used below. The image tools run in your browser, so your files are not uploaded. No paper signature? Draw or type one in the Signature maker first.
