Frequently asked questions

How do I get a signature under 20KB?

Upload a photo or scan of your signature, enter the required dimensions (e.g. 300×80) and set max size to 20KB. The optimizer resizes and compresses until it fits — PNG output keeps it crisp at small sizes.

Does it keep a transparent background?

Yes. Output is PNG, so a signature with a transparent background stays transparent — essential for placing it over documents without a white box. If your source is a photo on paper, remove the background first with the Background Remover.

My signature photo is on white paper — will it work?

It will be resized and compressed correctly, but the white paper stays white. For a clean transparent signature, shoot the signature on plain white paper in good light, run it through the Background Remover, then optimize the result here.

What dimensions do most forms require?

Common specs are 140×60px or 300×80px with a 10–30KB limit, but it varies by portal — check your form's instructions and enter exactly what it asks for.

Is it safe to upload my signature here?

Yes. Processing is 100% on-device in your browser — your signature image is never transmitted or stored anywhere else.

Is Signature Optimizer free to use?

Yes. Signature Optimizer is completely free on GenRise, with no limits, watermarks, or hidden paywalls.

Do I need to create an account or sign up?

Signature Optimizer uses your browser's built-in capabilities — Canvas, WebAssembly, and File APIs — to process files locally. Resize a signature photo to exact dimensions and file size. Simply open the tool, select your file, and the result is generated instantly on your device.

Is Signature Optimizer safe and private?

Yes. Since Signature Optimizer processes everything in your browser, your files never leave your device. There is no server-side storage, no tracking of file contents, and no data collection.
