Why it matters

Get the shortest path working before optimizing.

Confirm whether the client requires a wet signature.

Step by step

  1. Confirm the document accepts an image/e-signature.
  2. Draw on a blank canvas and keep it consistent with your normal handwriting.
  3. Export a high-resolution transparent or white PNG.
  4. Place it in the PDF/Word file and check position/size/sharpness.
  5. Use compliant e-signature/notarization for important contracts; don't just paste an image.

Common mistakes

  • Pasting an image on an important contract and assuming it is legally signed.
  • Exporting too low a resolution, so it prints blurry.
  • Transparent PNG with a white/gray halo.
  • Sharing the signature image freely, enabling misuse.

Checklist

  • The document/platform accepts an image signature.
  • The signature matches your normal handwriting.
  • PNG resolution/background are correct.
  • Placement/size look right after insertion.
  • Important documents use compliant e-signature/notarization.

Key facts

  • Confirm whether the client requires a wet signature.
  • E-invoices follow their platform rules.
