COPY stamp for documents, free to design
Clearly mark a duplicate with a COPY stamp so it isn’t mistaken for the original.
Copy stamp templates, ready to edit
Open the stamp maker with any of these
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.

How to make Copy stamp
- Open the stamp maker and pick the Copy template, or type your own wording.
- Choose the shape and ink colour, size it like a real stamp, and add a logo, a date or a number.
- Export the image for documents, or the whole set if you also need it in print or in Word.
How to put a copy stamp on a PDF
In Word, insert the copy stamp as a picture and then change the wrap to In Front of Text. That one setting is the whole problem: left as it is, Word treats the image as a very large character and pushes your paragraphs down the page. Once the wrap is changed it can be dragged anywhere, including over a signature line.
What size should a copy stamp be?
Text is the limit, not the shape. Every line you add to a copy stamp makes the rest smaller, and letters below roughly 6pt at true size stop surviving a scan or a fax. Three to five lines is the practical ceiling on a 40 mm mark.
What a copy stamp does not prove
The organisation receiving the document decides whether a copy stamp is acceptable, and practice varies more than people expect. For invoices, internal approvals and routine correspondence an image is widely accepted. For deeds, filings and anything going to a court or a registry, confirm before you rely on it.
Frequently asked questions
Is the copy stamp free?
Designing is free and unlimited. Downloading the copy stamp is $1.50 for a single image, or $3.00 for every format at once. One payment either way, with no subscription attached.
Can I add a date to the copy stamp?
Add a date line anywhere on the copy stamp. If you type a date it stays put; if you leave it empty it becomes today's date each time the file is generated, which is usually what a dated stamp is for.
What format do I get?
You choose an image format for $1.50, or take everything zipped for $3.00. The pack is where the SVG and the PDF live, and where the Word version of the copy stamp keeps its date as real text.
Do I get a template or something I can edit?
You build it. The copy stamp sample layouts are starting points rather than the product, so this is closer to a copy stamp generator than a copy stamp template. Adjust the copy stamp design, build the copy stamp online, preview at real size, then pay once. As a copy stamp maker it charges nothing to try, and the copy stamp price is $1.50 for a transparent copy stamp png or $3.00 for the whole pack.
