Questions about the tool
Are my images uploaded?
No. Image decoding, background removal and PNG export happen in your browser. Clearing the editor or closing the page releases the image.
Can I edit a PDF here?
You can add text, a date and your cleaned signature to a PDF using the Place in PDF button. You can also merge PDFs, reorder pages and convert images to PDF. Editing existing PDF text is not supported.
What kind of photo works best?
Use dark ink on plain white or light paper, with even lighting. Strong shadows, textured backgrounds and very pale ink may leave unwanted marks or lose detail.
Will the result be resized?
No. The image keeps its original pixel resolution. Cropping removes only the edges you choose. Files must be JPG or PNG, up to 5 MB and 8 megapixels, with each side up to 8,192 pixels.
