How do I add a staff member’s signature?
Save the signature as a *.png file.
If you do not want a white background around the signature, make the PNG transparent using a free online tool such as https://onlinepngtools.com/create-transparent-png.
Click Add Staff Signature.
Select the staff member and choose the *.png file containing their signature.
The offset controls the vertical position of the signature on the document. Enter a positive number (1, 2, etc.) to move it up, or a negative number (−1, −2, etc.) to move it down.
How do I resize the signature on a report card or certificate?
If the signature appears too large, try adding white space on the left and right sides of the PNG file before uploading. This effectively scales how the signature is rendered in the printout.
Before adding white space:
