How to make a signature stamp
A signature stamp turns your signature into a reusable mark you can apply to documents in one tap, useful when you sign the same forms, approvals or invoices over and over. You can make one online in a minute: draw your signature or upload a photo of it, and PDF Verified turns it into a clean, transparent stamp you can drop onto any PDF. Because a plain image of a signature is trivial to copy, a PDF Verified signature stamp can carry a serial number and a public QR verification link, so a recipient can confirm it is genuine, see which document it belongs to, and check whether it has been revoked.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make a signature stamp?
Draw your signature or upload a photo of it in the PDF Verified stamp maker, save it as a reusable stamp, and apply it to any PDF. Designing is free; downloading is $1.50 pay-as-you-go or free on a paid plan.
What is the difference between a signature stamp and an electronic signature?
A signature stamp is a saved image of your signature you reuse like a rubber stamp. An electronic signature captures the act of signing a specific document. PDF Verified lets you use a signature stamp and still seals the document with a tamper-evident fingerprint and QR verification, so it stays defensible.
Is a signature stamp legally acceptable?
For many internal approvals and routine forms a signature stamp is fine. For binding agreements, use it inside PDF Verified so the document is sealed and verifiable, which turns a copyable image into evidence of who signed and when.
Can someone copy my signature stamp?
A plain image can be copied, which is exactly why a PDF Verified signature stamp can carry a serial number and a public QR link. A recipient scans it to confirm it is genuine and tied to that specific document, and you can revoke it if needed.
Can I add my name and title to the stamp?
Yes. Combine your signature with a name, title, date or approval wording (for example “Approved by”) so one stamp handles your whole sign-off.
What PDF Verified is, and what it is not
A stamp identifies who issued a document. It is evidence rather than a formality that makes a document binding on its own, and it should only ever be made and applied for a business or an office you are authorised to act for: a mark that imitates another organisation in order to pass a document off as theirs is forgery in most places. Where a registry, a bank or a counterparty requires a particular form of seal, that requirement comes from them.
PDF Verified is a tool for preparing, signing, stamping and checking documents. It is not a law firm, a compliance service or a forensic examiner, and nothing here is legal, financial or compliance advice. Requirements differ by country, by document type and by the party asking, so check what applies to your document before you rely on it, and take advice where the document matters. You are responsible for the documents you create, sign and send, and for having the authority to do so: signing or stamping in somebody else name, or as an organisation you do not represent, is forgery whatever tool is used. To the extent the law allows, we accept no liability for how a document made with this tool is used or relied on. The full position is in our terms of service.
