What does handwritten signature mean?

Handwritten signature refers to the reflection of an ink of your writing on a paper in respect to signature. It shows that you have given a consent, or an interest to show approval in a deal or agreement of a supposed contract or document. Handwritten signature is a symbol of your own identity which is a personalized inked mark that is used for legal or illegal dealings by individuals or corporate bodies. It's also said to be a mark that gives a biometric identification, as they tend to be used to verify the originality of a bank transaction, business, document and etc.


Handwritten signatures are being generated in so many ways, which may include the use of pen and a clear piece of paper, a finger reflection of writing on a touchscreen, or a stylus pen on a tablet device provided with an internet. When creating a handwritten signature, one must be consistent with same pattern reflection and also be deliberate to make a more realistic mark, size, style, and pattern. The mark can be a nickname, combination of names, initials, last name or even last name and a nick name with a touch of symbols like full stop (.).


What is a Scanner App?

A scanner app is an app built to modify the look of an image taken directly from a low quality camera, it enhances the beauty of the image and makes it look better in reality. Most times when we take a picture of our documents with the mobile phone rear camera, its never clear and its likely going to get rejected on platforms you may want to use such document on. You can see that its discouraging and not giving that vibes that you need, and also you might don't want to spend going to a cyber cafe to scan your documents.


A scanner app adds a glow and quality to your handwritten signatures, if you have a document that needs to be signed online, maybe it was sent to you from an online organization and the organization needs your exact signature as same in bank, what you simply do as a pro after installing the scanner app on your mobile phone: Take the photo of the handwritten signature directly from the scanner app, the app will scan it and give you the result in seconds, you can do the same with your mobile phone rear camera to spot the differences in both images.


What image file type is the best?

Saving your image file using any of the methods plays a very crucial role in making sure that the document is clean and unique with a touch of professionalism. If you want to upload your signature image on a file, it should be on a transparent background (PNG) which allows the document to appear neat without any trace of paper stripes, paper lines, roughed edge papers. A transparent image is so far the best way to save your image.


Moreover, when using a scanner app to take a picture of your handwritten signature, you find out that the image file type would appear as JPEG, that's absolutely fine and very easy to handle when it turns out like that on your device, but it then exposes you to more stress of searching for an app or website which will allow you get rid of the signature image file background for free, and after successfully removing the image background you might want to touch up the color or the signature if it appears deem or not clear enough.
