4 Steps to Take a Flawless Signature Photo

1. Sign using a dark blue or black pen in the center of a clean, unruled white sheet.
2. Place the paper under bright, uniform lighting (natural daylight near a window is best).
3. Hold your phone camera directly parallel to the paper so the writing is not tilted or skewed. Avoid casting a phone shadow over the signature.
4. Crop unnecessary outer margins around the signature, but leave a small border so no letters get cut off.
