Stamp for a Word document — floats, no white box

Two things go wrong when you put a stamp in Word: the image lands inline and shoves your paragraphs down the page, and it arrives sitting on a white rectangle that hides whatever it covers. Design the stamp here and download it as a Word file instead — it already carries the "In Front of Text" setting, so it drops onto your document on the first drag, over the text rather than through it, with the date left as real editable text.

What you get

Stamp for a Word document — floats, no white box

  1. Open the free stamp maker and pick a shape — round company seal, oval, rectangle, octagon or triangle — or start from a template.
  2. Type your text around the border and in the centre, then set the colour, border style and font. Add a date, serial number or logo.
  3. Preview the stamp live — what you see is exactly what downloads.
  4. Download the Word (.docx) version and drag the stamp onto your document, or copy it into one you are already writing.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my stamp push the text down in Word?

Word inserts pictures "In Line With Text" by default, which treats the image as a very large character inside the paragraph, so everything after it moves down. Right-click the image, choose Wrap Text, then In Front of Text and it stops displacing anything. The Word download here already has that setting applied, so the step is unnecessary.

How do I stop the white box behind my stamp?

Use a transparent PNG rather than a JPG — JPEG has no transparency at all, so every non-ink pixel is stored as actual white. Our PNG and Word downloads are genuinely transparent, so body text reads straight through the seal. The white-background PNG is offered separately for slides and email signatures where transparency is not wanted.

Can I change the date on the stamp later?

Yes, on the Word download. The artwork is an image but a centre date is real, editable text grouped with it — click once to move the whole stamp, click again into the date to retype it. A date that curves around the rim stays part of the artwork, because a text box cannot bend along a circle.

Can I copy the stamp into a document I am already writing?

Yes. The artwork and the date are one grouped object, so copying takes both. Extract the download first — opening a Word file from inside a zip hands it to Word from a read-only folder, where nothing can be selected or copied.

Is the stamp maker free?

Yes — designing your stamp is completely free with no account. You preview it live and only pay when you download ($1.50 per stamp pay-as-you-go, or unlimited downloads on any paid plan). a stamp for a Word document works the same way.

Do I need to install an app?

No. Everything runs in your browser on desktop or mobile — no app, plugin or download required. Your stamp is generated as a crisp, transparent image you can drop onto any PDF.

Can I put the stamp on a PDF?

Yes. Download the stamp as a transparent PNG/SVG and place it anywhere, or use Sign & Stamp to drop it straight onto a PDF, seal the document, and get a QR-verifiable copy.

Are the stamps verifiable?

On a paid plan every stamp you apply can carry a serial number and a public QR verification page, so anyone can scan it and confirm the seal is genuine, who issued it, and whether it has been revoked.
