How does this tool work?
Stamping a PDF puts a clearly visible mark on a page, as an ink stamp would on paper: APPROVED on a quote, PAID on an invoice, RECEIVED on a letter, CONFIDENTIAL on an internal memo. It is the admin follow-up step that saves printing, stamping and scanning again. The stamp is composed, placed and adjusted visually in your browser.
The Add a stamp button opens a window with six presets — APPROVED, PAID, CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, RECEIVED and COPY — and a Custom mode where you type your own text. Choose the colour (red by default); the preview shows the framed, ink-stamp style result.
The stamp is created as a transparent image and placed on the page shown. You move it, enlarge or shrink it with the handles and can tilt it with the free rotation handle for a more natural look. The Apply to all pages box reproduces it in the same spot on every page.
On download, the stamp is built into the page as an image: it looks and prints the same everywhere. It marks a status but does not carry the value of an electronic signature or a certified official seal.
How to use this tool
Import the PDF
The document opens in the editor on the page to stamp.
Compose the stamp
Click Add a stamp, pick a preset or type your text, then the colour; check Apply to all pages if needed.
Place it and download
Move, resize and tilt the stamp, then download the new copy.
Use cases
Approve a quote or delivery note
Add APPROVED to an accepted quote or a checked delivery note.
Tell versions apart
Mark COPY or DRAFT so a document is not mistaken for an original.
Examples
Settled invoice
Without checking Apply to all pages, only the page shown receives the stamp. The rest of the invoice is unchanged.
Input
Custom stamp “PAID 17/10/2026”, red, slightly tilted, top right of page 1Result
Invoice with the framed red stamp at the chosen spot, on the first page onlyTips and best practices
- Add the date in a custom stamp: “RECEIVED 17/10” is far more useful than RECEIVED alone.
- Place the stamp on an empty area so it does not hide an amount or a signature.
- For a note across every page, a watermark suits better than a repeated stamp.
Frequently asked questions
Which stamp presets are available?
APPROVED, PAID, CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, RECEIVED and COPY, plus a Custom mode to write any text you like.
Can I stamp every page at once?
Yes. Check Apply to all pages before adding the stamp: it will be placed in the same spot on each page.
Can I change the colour and the tilt?
Yes. The colour is chosen before adding; the tilt is then set with the free rotation handle.
Does the stamp have legal value?
No. It is a visual follow-up mark; it replaces neither an electronic signature nor an official seal.
Can I use my company’s logo or seal?
Yes, by importing it as an image with Add an image to a PDF; this tool creates text stamps.
Is the document sent to a server?
No. The stamp is created and applied in your browser.
