What a JPG signature gives up
The transparency is spent
A JPG has no alpha channel, so the see-through area behind the strokes becomes solid. Choose that colour deliberately: a signature flattened onto white and then placed on a coloured form shows an obvious rectangle.
Do not compress a signature hard
Thin dark strokes on a light field are the worst case for JPEG. Below about 85 the ink picks up a visible grey halo, which on a signature reads as a bad scan rather than a compression setting. Stay high.
Who still asks for this
Government and bank upload forms, older HR and onboarding portals, and some visa and licence applications specify JPEG and validate on the extension. It is a compliance conversion.
Keep the transparent master
The PNG is the version that works everywhere else. Export a JPG for the one form that needs it and keep using the PNG for documents and email.
Processed locally
The conversion happens on a canvas in your browser. Your signature is not uploaded, logged or retained anywhere.

Describe the edit in your own words
