It will create a vector version of the signature and place it directly above the image.

Drag and drop your scanned JPG into Inkscape.

Only one problem with this: Word can't handle SVG. And you can find services online that will try to convert a raster image (e.g.

Vector graphics nowadays is usually saved in the popular (and open) SVG format. It's not smart enough to say "this picture is scaled down, but I do have the original high-resolution at hand, so I can send it to the printer at 300 DPI".Īlso, what if we want to print at 600 DPI, but our scanned image is just in 300 DPI? Ideally we'd want a vector image of our signature, not a rasterimage. When you then resize the image in Word to fit the signature space, Word just prints the picture as it appears on screen (i.e. 300 or DPI, same as a good printer) the image you get on your computer is big. When you scan an image in high resolution (e.g. Why is this happening? Didn't we take a hi-res scan of the signature? See how pixelated it looks? When you print this on a piece of paper you definitely see the difference.
