Common upload problems this solves

Signing on ruled or lined notebook paper

Always sign on blank white printer paper. Blue notebook lines confuse portal OCR filters.

Signing in capital / BLOCK letters

Most exams (especially banking like IBPS and SBI) strictly reject signatures written entirely in capital letters. Use running handwriting.

Over-cleaning causes signature strokes to break

Lower the cleaning threshold slider slightly to preserve fine pen strokes.

Privacy and file handling

All signature cleaning is processed locally in your web browser using HTML5 Canvas. Your signature is never uploaded to any remote server or stored anywhere.
