:::tip
If you’re uploading an image for your signature, it’s preferable that the image has a transparent background so that its extremities don’t cover parts of the documents that you add you signature to.

If your signature image doesn’t have a transparent background, please check [our guide for adding one to an image](https://help.dekkosecure.com/tips-and-troubleshooting/create-a-signature-image-with-a-transparent-background).
