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verification link, so a recipient can confirm it is genuine, see which document it belongs to, and check whether it has been revoked.
How to make a signature stamp — step by step
- Capture your signature — Draw your signature with your finger or mouse, or upload a photo of it on white paper. The background is removed so only the ink remains.
- Turn it into a stamp — Save it as a reusable signature stamp. Optionally combine it with your name, title or a date line, handy for approval and sign-off stamps.
- Apply it to a PDF — Upload the document and drop the signature stamp where it belongs, resizing it to fit the signature line. Apply it to one page or several.
- Serialize and verify — Turn on a serial number and a public QR link so each application can be verified, then download or send the sealed PDF. A copied image can never offer that.

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.
