Every preview on this page carries a faint Estamplab watermark. Your own download does not: the editor renders your stamp again, clean, as a transparent PNG, an SVG or a PDF. See the full template library.

On paper the two go together: you sign, then you stamp across the corner of the signature. Doing it digitally usually means two different tools, one for the signature and one for the stamp, and a document that goes through the printer between them. Placing both on the same page in the same pass is the whole job, and it takes about a minute.

How to make it

  1. Open the tool and drop your PDF or Word file onto the page.
  2. Pick a stamp from your library, or design one in the pop-up designer.
  3. Click the page where the stamp goes, then drag it or resize it from the corner.
  4. Download the stamped copy. Your original file is never modified.

Questions

Is this an electronic signature?

No, and the difference matters. This places a picture of a signature and a stamp on a page, which is what makes the document look the way the recipient expects. A legally weighted electronic signature is a cryptographic thing, tied to identity verification, and it comes from an e-signature service rather than from an image. For invoices, delivery notes, letters and internal approvals, the image is what people actually use.

How do I get my signature in?

Sign a white sheet, photograph it, and upload the photo. The white background is knocked out so the signature reads as ink rather than as a photograph of paper.

Where should the stamp go relative to the signature?

Overlapping the bottom-left corner of the signature is the common convention, so the stamp touches the signature without hiding the name. On a two-signature document each signature gets its own.

Can I do several pages?

Yes. Sign the last page and stamp every page, which is what most contracts want.

Does the document stay searchable?

Yes. Both marks are drawn onto the page, and the text underneath is untouched.

Estamplab is a design tool. This page describes common commercial practice rather than giving legal, tax or financial advice, and practice changes. Where a specific document matters, check the requirement with the body receiving it. Only produce a mark your own organisation or your own credentials are entitled to use.
