Add Stamps
Add stamp to PDF files online with approval, draft, reviewed, rejected, confidential, or custom image stamps for document workflows.
What this tool is best for
Use Add Stamps when a PDF needs a visible approval, review, status, or custom stamp placed on one or more pages before routing or archiving.
Why people use it
- Targets a practical document-workflow query distinct from watermarking or broad editing.
- Works for approval stamps, review marks, draft labels, received stamps, and custom status images.
- Lets users place stamps precisely without changing the rest of the document content.
What to watch for
- Stamps are visible workflow marks, not password protection. Use <a href="/en/tools/encrypt-pdf">Password Protect PDF</a> for access control.
- If the status mark should appear faintly across every page, <a href="/en/tools/add-watermark">Add Watermark</a> is usually a better fit.
Supported inputs
single PDF, approval or review documents, preset or custom stamp images
Common outputs
stamped PDF, review-marked document, approval-ready or archive-ready copy
About This Tool
Add Stamps is for document workflows where a visible status mark needs to be placed on the page. The mark might say Approved, Rejected, Draft, Reviewed, Received, Confidential, Paid, or another team-specific label that helps people understand the document state at a glance.
This page should compete on placement and workflow clarity. Users searching “add stamp to PDF” usually want a fast way to place a stamp at a specific location, resize it, and apply it to selected pages. They are not necessarily trying to edit body text or build a full annotation layer.
It also needs to distinguish adjacent pages. Add Watermark is better for repeated faint marks across a whole document. Sign PDF is better for signatures. Flatten PDF can be used later if the stamp should become a non-editable part of the final copy.
For SEO, this page should focus on status marking, approval routing, review workflows, and custom PDF stamps rather than generic PDF editing language.
