What is a digital stamp?

A digital stamp is a visual stamp or seal graphic used in electronic documents. It can display information commonly found on a physical stamp, such as a company name, status, date, address or approval label.

  1. Choose a starting point

    Open an editable template or begin with a blank stamp.

  2. Customize the design

    Edit text, shape, dimensions, icons and styling.

  3. Preview the stamp

    Check that the content and layout fit the intended use.

  4. Choose the needed format

    Select PNG, SVG, EPS, PDF or DOCX.

  5. Download or stamp a PDF

    Use the exported file directly or continue in the PDF Stamp Editor.

Digital stamp versus physical rubber stamp

A physical stamp applies ink to paper. A digital stamp is an image or vector element placed in a digital document. The visual design can be similar, but the application method and file format are different.

Digital stamp versus electronic signature

A visual stamp should not automatically be treated as an electronic signature. Electronic-signature laws and trust services can require identity verification, certificates or other controls that a stamp image does not provide.

Common file formats

The right export depends on the document, web or print workflow.

  • PNG: raster image with a transparent background for documents and websites.
  • SVG: scalable vector format that remains sharp at any size.
  • EPS: vector export for professional design and print workflows.
  • PDF: document format for print and document sharing.
  • DOCX: Microsoft Word output for workflows that need the stamp in a Word document.
