Frequently asked questions

What size should a signature image be?

Many online forms ask for 10–20 KB, sometimes up to 50 KB, with a wide aspect ratio. The preset uses 20 KB and 600×300 px as a safe default.

My signature looks faint after compression. What can I do?

Use a darker pen and brighter, even light when taking the photo. Higher contrast survives compression much better.
