Did you mean .svg file? That's what they save as in Scratch. Also, what type of program are you trying to open the file with? It must be a vector graphics editor.

Signatures only read bitmap files, so you'll have to screenshot it, open it in a bitmap editor, crop it, and save it. Then you need to upload it to an image hosting website and place it in your signature by putting the url between [img] tags.Did you mean .svg file? That's what they save as in Scratch.

If you have GIMP installed, you can also convert the .svg file directly into bitmap by opening it with GIMP (should work with similar graphic editors too).
