What is the scanned signature
A scanned signature is a digital representation of a handwritten signature, created by scanning a physical signature using a scanner or a mobile device. This image can be embedded into electronic documents, allowing users to sign forms and contracts without the need for physical paperwork. The scanned signature retains the unique characteristics of the original signature, making it recognizable and authentic.
How to use the scanned signature
Using a scanned signature is straightforward. First, you need to create a high-quality image of your signature. This can be done by signing on a piece of paper and scanning it or using a mobile app to capture the signature directly. Once you have the image, you can upload it to airSlate SignNow. From there, you can easily insert your scanned signature into any document that requires your signature, facilitating a seamless signing process.
