After I configured our logo to the Docusign avatar, the signature email sent by Docusign had a black box around the avatar. I tried to remove the black box and tried many methods but couldn't solve it.
Hi
Check that your image is not a .PNG with a transparent background. This can happen in this scenario, however this background will not always be replicated at the time of use. Look at my example below, I’m using a .PNG with a transparent background (image on the right, with checkered background for better example), when applying the image, the background was painted blue, but this did not happen on the product.

Hi
This “black box” happens for the same reason, a .PNG file with a transparent background. My suggestion is to use a .JPG file with a white background.
To take a simple example, I’m using the exact same image above, but now I’m uploading in my user profile image. You can see this “black background” again.

However, if you take the exact same image, but transfer to a .JPG with a white background, this won’t happen again:

Hi
OK, I tested using your image, and happened to me too (this “black box”). Could you please try to click on this option below and proceed with a new test?

I did it and solved it.

Hi
I tried it, but there is no option like you mentioned.

Hi
Thank you for reporting it, not sure why this option is not available through Manage Profile.
Please, try this way: My Preferences (under Manage Profile) > General > Click on your photo profile. By doing this, you’ll have that option.

Hi
Thank you for your guidance. I found this option according to the guidance you gave, and the problem has been solved.
Thank you again.

Hi, I tried to log in and follow the instructions provided in this conversation, but I'm still having the issue with the black border around the image. I'm not able to see the preview with the eye icon and the square image selection — I only get the first option where the image can be cropped in a circular shape.
How can I fix this? thank you.

Hello,
I am having the exact same issue where there is black box surrounding profile picture. I have uploaded a JPEG and have also attempted to put a white border around the image, but still no luck - Super frustrating!
Can someone please take a look?
