1. Remove the Background of Your Signature

Go to remove.bg and upload a copy of your handwritten signature. It’s best if your signature is written on clean, clear paper, as the site automatically removes the background from your image.

After uploading, you’ll notice that remove.bg has already removed the background from your image. Click ‘Download’ to save it to your computer and use it in Google Docs.

On Google Docs, Go to Insert > Image > Upload from computer. Then, locate the downloaded signature on your computer.

3. Access Image options

Right-click on the uploaded signature and choose Image options. This will open on the right side of your screen. On the Text Wrapping section, choose In front of text to make your signature more manageable.

You may also resize or rotate your image in the Size & Rotation section. Make sure the ‘Lock aspect ratio’ option is checked to maintain the authentic look of your signature.

Finally, place your image in the designated spot by simply dragging it. You should now have a result similar to the example below.
