Date stamp generator with a date that fills itself in

A date stamp generator where the date resolves at the moment the stamp is used, so the impression records the real date rather than the date the file was created.

Open the stamp maker

Most date stamp generators draw the date you typed into an image and hand it back. That file shows the same date forever, which is fine for a decorative seal and useless for anything where the date is the point. Here the date is stored as an instruction rather than a picture, so the stamp fills it in when you use it.

What you get

How to make it

  1. Open the stamp maker and pick a shape, or start from a template.
  2. Type your wording, then set the colour, border and size.
  3. Add the date, time, serial number or logo, and position each one.
  4. Preview it live, then download. Designing and previewing are free.

Questions

Will the date update every time I use the stamp?

If you leave the date field empty, yes. Each download resolves it to that moment. If you type a date, it stays exactly as you typed it, because a date somebody entered deliberately is a record of a day rather than a placeholder.

Can I add the time as well?

Yes, and it is worth doing on anything with a deadline. A tender that closes at noon or a filing cut-off at 5pm turns on the hour, and a date alone cannot show whether you were in time.

What date formats can I use?

Day-first, month-first and ISO, with or without a leading zero, and with the month as a number or as a word. Pick whichever matches the paperwork you are stamping.

Is the date stamp free?

Designing and previewing are free with no account and no watermark on the preview. Downloading the file costs $1.50 for a PNG or JPG, or $4.50 for every format zipped, paid once.
