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 put an original stamp on a PDF
In Bluebeam, Markup then Image places the original stamp, and the result behaves like any other markup until you flatten it. Flattening matters on anything going to a client or a reviewer: before it, the stamp is an object anybody can select and drag off the page.
What size should an original stamp be?
On A4, anything between 35 and 45 mm reads as a stamp that was pressed onto the page. Below about 30 mm the ring text stops being legible once the document is photocopied, and above about 50 mm the original stamp starts competing with the content instead of marking it.
What an original stamp does not prove
The organisation receiving the document decides whether a original 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 original stamp free?
Free until you want the file. The original 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 original stamp?
Yes. Switch the date on and it sits inside the original stamp. Leave the date field empty and it fills itself in whenever the stamp is used, rather than freezing the day you designed it.
What format do I get?
Single formats are the images: a transparent PNG, a white-background PNG or a JPG. The vector and document versions of the original stamp, meaning SVG, PDF, EPS and Word, come with the all-formats pack.
How much does it cost, and what do I get?
You build it. The original stamp sample layouts are starting points rather than the product, so this is closer to a original stamp generator than a original stamp template. Adjust the original stamp design, build the original stamp online, preview at real size, then pay once. As a original stamp maker it charges nothing to try, and the original stamp price is $1.50 for a transparent original stamp png or $3.00 for the whole pack.
