RemoveWhite is a browser-based tool that removes the white paper background from a scanned or photographed signature. Upload your image, the background disappears instantly, and you download a transparent PNG. No upload to any server, no AI, no software to install.
The photo or scan of your signature looks grey instead of white
Recognise this? You photographed or scanned your signature and you want to paste it in a legal document, a business document, or sign your emails with an actual autograph, and then you see: the background is grey or beige instead of white.
Or maybe you want to put your signature on merchandise like t-shirts, mugs, or pens. Either way, a transparent background is what you need.
How to make the background transparent
Drop your signature in the canvas above. The white background disappears immediately. If you still see grey or beige edges, adjust the Threshold and Feather sliders.
Signatures
in any color
For some use cases you need a different color than black. A white signature for a dark background. A blue signature for branding. A colored signature for merchandise.
Drop your signature in the canvas and recolor either the white or the black pixels to any color you want. You can also invert the colors entirely - black becomes white, white becomes black.
Use black or blue ink on a white background. Good contrast gives the cleanest result.

Your signature
stays yours
I ran into this problem many times and the only solution I could think of was to make the background of the signature transparent, so I would be left with only the black or blue ink: the dark pixels.
I used Photoshop for this task for many years, but lately it's been overkill to pay that much for such a simple task. That's why I started experimenting to make my own tool for this: tadaaa!
I had a few demands to meet: I wanted absolute privacy for the people using the tool because of, well: privacy. So no uploads to or storage on the RemoveWhite.com servers: no AI training of your signature. Just processing in your browser. Your browser.
I needed it to be fast and affordable. So here it is.
