Sign with a dark pen on plain white paper, photograph it straight-on without shadows, upload to bgclear and download the transparent PNG — only the ink remains. For forms that want JPG, apply White in the editor first; for PDFs and documents, use the transparent PNG.
Pencil, light ink and ruled paper are the three things that break signature cutouts, because faint strokes look like background. Black or dark blue gel pen on white paper, daylight from the side, phone directly above the page.
SSC, UPSC and bank portals usually want a small JPG (often 10–20 KB, around 140×60 px); crop and compress after removing the background. Guides: signature background remover · हिन्दी.
