+# Python signature editor
+
+The present repo contains a Python script to process signature images, it returns a `png` image with transparent background containing only the signature.
+
+## Setup
+
+The Python PIL ([Python Image Library](http://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)) package with [Python 3](https://www.python.org/downloads/) is used in this repo.
+
+To install PIL via pip:
+```bash
+pip install pillow
+```
+
+## Contents
+
+The main script is [`signature.py`](https://github.com/RodolfoFerro/Signature/blob/master/scripts/signature.py), which contains a set of utility functions developed so far.
+
+### Done so far
+
+* Binarize your signature
+* Remove background and make it transparent
+
+### TODO
+
+* Smooth image
+* Image orientation
+* Crop to get only signature
+
+## Usage
+
+The main script, [`signature.py`](https://github.com/RodolfoFerro/Signature/blob/master/scripts/signature.py) requires a set of parameters that are needed in the parser.
+
+```bash
+$ python signature.py -h
+usage: signature.py [-h] -i INPUT [-o OUTPUT] [-th THRESHOLD]
+
+optional arguments:
+  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
+  -i INPUT, --input INPUT
+                        Input image.
+  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
+                        Output image.
+  -th THRESHOLD, --threshold THRESHOLD
+```
+
+An example to use this script is as follows:
+
+```bash
+$ python signature.py -i imgs/example.jpg -o imgs/result.png -th 190
+```
+
+### Results
