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.

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).
