Use Case
For people who signed on paper and need a crisp vector signature for documents, email footers, branding, laser engraving, or embroidery — without handing it to a website.
Privacy
A signature is sensitive, so the last thing you want is to upload it to a random server — this tool traces it entirely in your browser, and nothing ever leaves your device. Signatures are essentially single-color ink on paper, so we default numColors to 2: the tracer makes one clean black-or-white decision per pixel, capturing your pen strokes as crisp vector paths. The threshold is the key dial — raise it to keep lighter pen pressure and faint strokes, lower it to drop paper shadow and capture only the boldest ink. A raised pathomit wipes out the paper grain and scanner speckle around a photographed signature, leaving smooth, continuous strokes. Tight ltres and qtres preserve the natural flow of your handwriting instead of chopping it into stiff segments. The result is a compact, transparent-ready SVG you can drop into PDFs, scale, recolor, or send to a laser or embroidery machine.
