How it works

Upload and convert
Drop the photo here. Our AI extracts your handwriting and converts it into a clean vector path.
Download the SVG

Why use PhotoCAD
Smooth, natural strokes
The output preserves the character of your handwriting. We do not over-smooth — the signature looks like you wrote it.
Scalable to any size
The SVG scales from a business card to a building sign without losing definition. Same file, infinite resolution.
Ready for engraving
The DXF output loads straight into LightBurn, Glowforge, xTool, and every engraving machine. No cleanup needed.
Works from a phone photo
No scanner required. A phone photo on a desk under a lamp is more than enough — we correct for lighting and paper texture.
A handwritten signature usually only exists on paper. PhotoCAD converts a phone photo of your signature into a clean SVG in under two minutes. The output preserves stroke pressure, curvature, and the small irregularities of natural handwriting.
The SVG is the parent format for any downstream use. From SVG, you can save out DXF for engraving, PDF for documents, or PNG for the web — all stay sharp at any size because the source is vector. The signature is fully editable: open the SVG in any vector editor to adjust stroke thickness, scale, or color.
For best results, sign on a plain white sheet with a dark pen, photograph the page squarely under good light, and crop to the signature before uploading.
What you can do with it
Digital document signing
Drop a transparent SVG of your signature into PDF, Word, or Pages. Sign documents digitally without printing and rescanning.
