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.
Photographs get stamped for duller reasons than documents do, and the reasons are all about proof. A site engineer photographs completed work and the picture has to carry the date it was taken and whose inspection it was. A valuer marks a property photo APPROVED before it goes in the report. A workshop photographs a part before and after and the pair are useless unless each one says which is which. In every case the mark belongs on the picture, not in a filename that the next person to email it will change.
What you get
- The page is the photo, at its own proportions, so nothing is letterboxed onto A4 and nothing is cropped.
- A stamp, a drawn or typed signature, a date, a reference number or a second picture, all on the same shot.
- The date fills itself in, which is the whole point on a photo that has to carry the day it was taken.
- Comes back as PNG, JPG or PDF: PNG to keep it lossless, JPG to email it, PDF to put it in a report.
- Full resolution out, because a stamped photo that has been through a screenshot is no use as a record.
- Nothing is uploaded. Site photographs and property pictures are not files you want sitting on somebody else’s server.
How to make it
- Open the tool and drop your photo on it. It becomes a page exactly its own shape.
- Pick a stamp, or switch to Text or Date for a plain mark, or Picture for a logo.
- Click the photo where the mark goes, then drag it or resize it from the corner.
- Download it as PNG, JPG or PDF. Your original picture is untouched.
Questions
What picture formats can I stamp?
PNG, JPG and WebP. A PNG with transparency keeps it, so a cut-out product shot does not come back with a black rectangle behind it.
Does it lose quality?
No. The picture is placed on a page exactly its own size and the stamp is drawn into it at that resolution, so a 4000 pixel photo comes back a 4000 pixel photo with a stamp on it. Exporting to JPG re-compresses once, the same as any save; export to PNG if you want it untouched.
Can the stamp have the date the photo was taken?
It can carry any date you type, and it fills in today by default. It does not read the date out of the photo’s EXIF data, so if you are stamping a picture taken last week, type last week’s date.
Can I put my logo on a photo instead of a stamp?
Yes. Choose Picture rather than Stamp and upload the logo, then place it the same way. A transparent PNG sits on the photo cleanly; a JPEG brings its own white rectangle with it.
Is a stamped photo proof of anything?
It is a record, not proof. A date drawn onto a picture is something you wrote on it, exactly like writing on the back of a print, and anybody can write anything. It makes the record legible and hard to mix up, which is what it is for. If you need the photo itself to be verifiable, that is a chain of custody question and a stamp does not answer it.
What does it cost?
Placing the marks is free and you can see exactly what you will get. The finished picture is $2.00, paid with an email address and no account, or it is included on a plan.
