Prepare your digital signature

To use this feature you need a digital signature with a transparent background. If your signature file sits on a block color background, such as white, this will be visible to the eye as our papers are not pure white.

For best results we recommend uploading an .svg file as these can scale without a loss in resolution. However, you can also use a .png file. If using a .png ensure the file is minimum 200dpi with appropriate size dimensions. Convert your .png files to .svg using this tool. If you don’t have a png you can use this tool to remove the background from an image file and save as png.

If you don’t already have a digital signature, there are loads of free tools online you can access with a Google search. However, if you are an Apple iPhone or iPad user, the easiest way is to use the draw function in your Notes app then export the .png file.


Upload your signature

Once you have your digital signature in .svg format, upload it to your creativehub account. Here’s how:

  1. Click on your name/profile icon in the top right corner of the creativehub homepage
  2. Select ‘Art store settings’ from the drop down
  3. You will be taken to the ‘My Art Store’ page. Select ‘Brand settings’ from the left-hand side menu
  4. Scroll down the page until you see the ‘Artists and signatures’ section.
  5. Upload your signature and save your artist name
