There is so much fluff on KZfaq help videos its an absolute pleasure to find someone who not only knows the answers to many vexing questions - but you also explain it wonderfully. Thank you.

Every time I watch a tutorial of yours, I get amazed by how simple, professional and beneficial your video is. Very good channel

Kevin, at the risk of sounding corny, I have learned more from your videos since "discovering" you here in KZfaq, than I did in high school when computers were still devices the aliens left behind. This imcludes the current "intro to computer applications" course I am taking now since returning to college after 35-years. Keep up the amazing tutorials my friend!! Thank you.

I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned it before but what makes Kevin's tutorials even better is the fact that there's no distracting or irritating background music! Thanks Kevin!

Hi Kevin, very nice video indeed. Well done! Here's another trick you may add to your toolbox when scanning hand written signatures. We used it years back on an multi-function-device in the office with a rather low scanning resolution. Instead of writing on the back of a business card, we used a regular printer page and a rather thick pen. This way you basically scan in more pixels for enhanced optical resolution. And when shrinking the scanned image to the regular signature size, you'll get a lot more pixels per inch, while the thick pen just appears as a thin line. Thus, much better resolution on the monitor or the printer. Note: The effect is obviously less when 'scanning' on the cell phone, as the photo taken is of a fixed size/resolution. However, you still benefit from taken the scan/photo at a 'convenient' (optical) distance and don't rely on the 'macro' features of your cell phone camera when getting to close to the object.

If there was a competition for the best person to explain on KZfaq , you would be nominated, awesome.

Thanks for clearing up the difference between a digital and electronic signature, most people think its the same thing.

This absolutely deserves a tumbs up. You get a natural signature almost without any hassle.

This video has helped to easily understand how I use Electronic signature. I had this problems for signing a file and then scanning it but from today it will be easier for me to use these easy and helpful methods you have taught us in this video. I am so grateful to you Mr. Kevin for the easy way you make us understand your beneficial videos and I am always stay connected with you channel and surely it deserves to be stay connected with your channel. I watch and like to every video you upload. Thank for helping me understand your tutorials. I appreciate the work you are doing for us!!!

Thank you Kevin, your instructions are clear and concise and I find them easy to follow and extremely helpful!

I didn't know about this method. It's really good. What I did 5 years ago was scan my signature on a white paper, took it to Photoshop and extracted it as a PNG file. I'm always using it now

I always wanted to learn how to make a digital or an electronic signature. That tutorial was great. Best of all, it came from no better person than a Microsoft expert. Since I have no smartphone with a camera, I wrote my signature on paper and scanned it to my computer. I saved it as a picture file. I hope to make the off-white background white.

Im soon 50 years old, worked with officepack all life and have had , still have several courses with datalearning. Got damn I have reach a new higher level in coursing, thanx to U!! U have become my mentor in Office use cases, and other very useful gadgets. Not many of ur kind Kevin. Keep up the good work, andd hope ur business goes very well :-) Br. Norway.

I watched this video as part of my paralegal studies program. Excellent video on presentation and explaining the various methods of electronic signature. I knew the PDF method didn't know the Microsoft office method. Thank!!!!

this really helps me! who knew i can just get my electronic signature from onenote only! all that struggle to edit previously using online website etc geez.. im thankful i got a tab bc handwritten signature is much easier for me. i should really explore more about onenote.. who knows it could help me for my studies and exams. thank you sm Kevin!

Kevin Stratvert is a KZfaq God. Amazing video A few days ago I was searching how to sign a document for my school assignment. Thanks KZfaq god (Kevin)

You make some great walkthrough videos man. Thank you for them. It has helped me out for sure. Please keep up the good work.

Such an amazing and informative youtube video, I can't thank you enough. It's still a struggle for me but has gotten me a lot closer to sign a document for a job application that I need to do.. Thank you so much!!!

This video will help all teachers, professors and business man's in School, College, Office respectively in this Lockdown Situation! Tysm

This was exactly what I was looking for and presented wonderfully! Thanks Kevin!

This is exactly what I was looking for. You do such a nice job of teaching without all the extraneous talk!. Perfect!

Hi Kevin, thanks for a very clear and great explanation of how to create and e-Signature. You’ve just saved me so much hassle. Cheers Dude!!

I was really in need of this, Thanks Kevin 👍👍👍

Followed you tutorial on my new 24" Mac using OneNote. Created my digital signature perfectly. Thank you so much

Thank you so much Kevin, you saved my time. Without second thought, directly subscribed and hit the like button.

using Google Keep will do it a LOT better, faster and quicker than Microsoft OneNote. no need for Sections > Pages > bla-bla-bla detour. as for Kevin, you remain MY NUMBER ONE tutor on KZfaq, your content and explanations are SECOND to NONE, outstanding !! 👌👌

Extremely clear and helpful presentation - Thank you Kevin

Dude, you have mad skills at content creation and production quality. Props, seriously.

Hey, I didnt know you could handwrite in onenote, thanks. Just an FTI, on android, if you press the pen tool then press and hold the pen option in the toolbar, aftera couple of seconds it brings up a colour palette to choose from. Im ssuming its the same on ios

Wow ! Who would have expected you could do an electronic signature using your phone ! awesome.

Awsome Video Kevin...congrats on the move to your company....It may be helpful in the scanned signature portion how to create a transparent background for the scanned signature so the "signature stamp" could be inserted into a document without blocking out the signature lines when signing pdf forms. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

Thank you !! I also did not knew about one note for the signature. Now I will use it !! Thanks you very much

Kevin! This is exactly what I have been looking for! You made this very easy. Thanks so much.

Once again, thank you for being so helpful!

Thank You Kevin. Your explanations are crisp and focussed. Fantastic.

I wasn't expecting to learn much, but this was a brilliant and really useful video. Thank you

So grateful to kevin for making this channel 👍 this made our lives easy

Great presso as always. OneNote for signatures - who knew!? I would love to see a Microsoft Stream Tutorial if you can add that to the list!

Kevin, your videos are so helpful. Many thanks for this electronic signature tutorial

I don't have Paint (I'm on a Mac) but I found a work-around by copying it into the Desktop version of PowerPoint and right clicking and saving it as a picture.

Thanks, I never knew these many way to digitally sign my documents.

Hello Kevin! Thanks for your efforts to bring into live important and effective tools in technology! I would be happy if you prepare good practical demo on Microsoft Pulse!

This is the best video I have ever watched on digital signature. I just created one. Thank you so much!

Great video, it really helped clarify how to set up signature could you also make one on digital ID please as could not find one as good as your videos online

Amazing!!! You're explanation of creating an electronic signature was fabulous, thanks so much!!!!

Thanks. I am not good at signing on my phone but have done a version of taking a picture of my signature, editing it and then using it to sign documents, primarily .pdfs for work. A problem I had run into was when the background covered up part of a signature line or other words. There was a tutorial for using the free, open source Gimp program to delete all of the background, including within loops on things like a lower case L or a g and so on. It works great. I'm not sure if the technique you so ably described above will do that, or perhaps if your video on how to remove a photo background would, but I highly recommend it. Perhaps it is not needed in the Office programs, but it was for a little .pdf editing tool I use. Btw, even removing the background didn't help in some cases for me. It made the parts without a background white, and that covered up anything it was over, such as a line. I forgot the way that it is done in Gimp, but saving it as a transparency in a .png file is the only way to make it work flawlessly everywhere. Thanks again for your videos They are well done... good editing, nice lighting and sound.

Amazing explanation Kevin. Thanks a lot! It’s very useful❤️

Excellent. I was doing this the hard way. Thank you for sharing.

That's ok. I prefer to edit the signature in a photo editor, create transparency and remove the background then save as PNG. This way the signature looks realistic without that white box around it. Takes a little more time but allows you more flexibility to sign even on different color paper, over text or images without affecting the original document.

Very good explanation and thanks . Really helpful and can learn a lot of things . Thank You Kevin, you simply great.

ok. I went to support and My signature is all set for Warrior Plus. They said my printed name is their only form at this time. I saved all your instructions and have my signature saved on Desktop to use over & over again! Thank you for your great tutorial....

Thank you! I used the office version and it worked perfectly

Absolutely amazing knowledge explained in a very simple concise and easy to understand way. Since subscribing I have learned so much, information, knowledge that has been very valuable and helpful in respect to my property business. especially when it has been very relevant to contracts and signatures. Thanks a great deal Kevin for imparting your knowledge and time. Cheers J 😎😊👍

Excellent video presentation with clear concise instruction , thank you Kevin .

Your videos are very clear, conscie, and unambiguous . Great job !

Great video. Showing all the steps in good detail. Sadly, OneNote broke down for me (was different - marquee tool only) and I could not select the red signature to change the color or copy/paste it.

Very Helpful videos, simple, precise and comprehensive. You are a true gift to the people in your life.

It's completely free and I successfully created my esignature. Thanks for sharing the tips

Thanks Kevin for your great videos, which taught me a lot useful tips. Could you share your best practices in translation? e.g. Skype translation, Google voice translation and more, thanks.

Dude!!! Thanks I subscribed to your channel after viewing several of your videos.

Hello Kevin, Thanks for impacting all these technologies on me Your tutorial makes everything easy.

Dude, my signature looks soooo goood. Thanks!

Just what I currently need. I said it last time, and I'll say again. You really are a wikiHow on steroids, Kevin. Thanks! 😁👍

This is Brilliant stuff. Always precise and to the point.

I would appreciate you covering how to make the background translucent for when I need to put my signature on to a document with a color other than white.

I created a digital signature on my phone and transferred to my PC. Thank you 😊

You know exactly what I need....👌..good job Kevin

Thank you very much Kevin, The video was really helpful in knowing how to make an electronic signature

This has been a feature on Macs for over 10 years. I did all of the signatures on real estate purchase without printing out a single document in 2012. Can't believe this is still a thing.

Love this explaination, as usual I've learnt a lot. It would be great if you could add how to make the signature transparent, so that a box doesn't appear when adding it to a coloured background. Keep up the fab work! 😊

Sorry Kevin. I lost at 4:41 signature writing part. Where and how do you write the signature? On the phone screen with an ordinary pen, finger?

Kevin, you are amazing, but this process is ridiculously laborious! Aint nobody got time for that!

Kevin, uRock... You are my favorite source to How-To videos, especially for Microsoft applications...

Thank you so much Kevin. Its a big help to all our documents concerns:-)

Excellent instructions. Could actually follow it step by step. Thanks

Awesome! I need to watch it again and again in order to catch up with you. Slow down a bit, please. Anyway, I love it! Thank you, Kevin.

This is great. I wish you would have included instructions to make the background transparent do that when you sign forms that have lines to place your signage. If there is a background it may not match the background of the document.

This is a simple topic but kick BUTT!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Kevin!!

CCE - Chief Cookie Eater 🤣🤣🤣 Another awesome video, Kevin!

you are so professional and simply amazing. I love your videos and learn so much from you. THANK YOU!!!!!

quick tip in paint: change the size of the canvas and then you don't have to resize when your inserting, click select show canvas, then lock aspect ratio and resize image with canvas, type in width 135px then save as. I save the original in full size and then save the small scaled version so I have both

Wonderful. Thank you very much for this great demonstration.

That's brilliant Kevin - Thank You

Hands off sir 🙏 You're great ! All my problems get solved in a minute ! No probs no fuss no mess ! I will always be favoured to u !

really appreciated thank you for being our good teacher and Toutur

Thanks man for your videos. I'd recommend your channel to my team

Wow, great tips Kevin, it works wonderfully! Thank you :)

Awesome! Thanks for this wonderful tutorial.

Please do a video on digital signatures aswell. Thank you Kevin.

I learn so much from your videos! The quality is good and you speak and explain well.

Thanks again another very interesting and informative video. I’ll surely use some of these tricks and ideas.

Do not know about the first method-as not coordinated enough to sign on phone-but the second method has a background which must be removed when using the signature on a document of a different color, or if the signature must overlie text or lines. As you show, is better to take a pix of the written sig vs scanning. Got here from your Very Helpful discussion on OO-Draw (which I did NOT know would do PDFs). Thanks

Thank you so much for the nice tips. Is there any tip for Zoom checking attendance (for free use version)?

Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! My head was about to blow up on DocuSign.

Kevin, I know you did note the difference between digital and electronic signatures. It’s important to note that this electronic signature is nothing but an image, which means the recipient can easily extract it and use it too. And no one can tell the difference between their copy and your original.

I sure could have used this tutorial for medical, financial and helping family with birth, death and marriage docs. I use acrobat reader for forms but I'll check out using microsoft word for letters. Thank you.

Fantastic video - love it. I have tried this in the past to add signature to a scanned in document that is slightly yellow/off-white so looks terrible when adding a signature with a white background. Is there a way to create a signature with an invisible background so you do not see the white background?

Hi Kevin, thank you for a very informative tip. I just want to know how can you use the mouse on your iphone as though you're on a pc screen? Thx, Kevin!

I didn't know there's a difference between digital and electronic signature. Can you also make a video of digital signature as well? Thanks

Hi Kevin trying to follow you on this video Electronic signature. Downloading was fine with androids i got lost following you afterwards. I have to keep trying . but thanks again for showing me. I wish I could just sit down there and raise my hand when I cannot follow you anymore. Thanks again.
