DRAFT stamp for documents, free to design
Mark a document as not-final with a DRAFT stamp, so reviewers know it’s a work in progress.
Draft 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.
When to use Draft stamp
- Documents under review
- Pre-final contracts
- Proposals in progress
How to make Draft stamp
- Open the stamp maker and pick the Draft template, or type your own wording.
- Work through the shape, the border and the ink, then drop a logo into the centre and place the date.
- Download a single image format, or the zip with the SVG and print-ready PDF alongside it.
How to put a draft stamp on a PDF
Export the draft stamp as a transparent PNG, then in Acrobat choose Edit PDF, then Add Image, and drop it where it belongs. Drag a corner to size it and flatten the file afterwards so it cannot be moved by whoever receives it. The transparent background is what stops a white rectangle appearing over the text underneath.
What size should a draft stamp be?
The common standards are 40 mm across for a round draft stamp, 45 by 30 mm for an oval one and 60 by 20 mm for a rectangle. Those are the sizes most banks and registries are used to seeing, which is the practical reason to stay near them rather than any rule.
What a draft stamp does not prove
This produces an image. It is not an electronic signature in the legal sense: that is a cryptographic thing tied to verified identity, and it comes from an e-signature service. A draft stamp shows intent and identity to a human reader, which is what routine paperwork actually runs on, and it is worth knowing which of the two a document needs.
Frequently asked questions
Is the draft stamp free?
Free until you want the file. The draft stamp previews at full quality with nothing over it, and only the download is charged: $1.50 for one image format, $3.00 for all of them zipped.
Can I add a date to the draft stamp?
The draft stamp takes a date, a time and a serial number, in any combination. An empty date fills itself in at download; a typed one is treated as a deliberate record and left alone.
What format do I get?
Images on their own: transparent PNG, white PNG, JPG, and high-resolution versions of each. The pack adds the SVG, the print PDF and the Word file where the date and serial stay editable text.
Do I get a template or something I can edit?
You build it. The draft stamp sample layouts are starting points rather than the product, so this is closer to a draft stamp generator than a draft stamp template. Adjust the draft stamp design, build the draft stamp online, preview at real size, then pay once. As a draft stamp maker it charges nothing to try, and the draft stamp price is $1.50 for a transparent draft stamp png or $3.00 for the whole pack.
