Add Stamps to PDF Free

Use Add Stamps when a PDF needs a clear visible status before review, approval, payment, delivery, archive, or internal routing.

Choose a common status label such as Draft, Approved, Paid, Reviewed, or Confidential, or create a custom stamp for the workflow.

What this tool helps with

• Apply Approved, Draft, Paid, or Confidential stamps
• Create a custom stamp label
• Adjust color, opacity, rotation, and position
• Review that important page content stays readable

Supported formats

• Input: PDF files supported by the browser PDF workflow.
• Output: a new PDF copy with visible stamp text.
• The original PDF stays separate from the stamped copy.

Best for

• Review and approval workflows
• Paid or received invoice copies
• Draft and confidential document marks
• Internal routing and archive labels

Limits to know

• A stamp is a visual mark, not document security.
• People with editing access may still modify or remove the visible mark.
• Large, opaque, or poorly placed stamps can cover important text, signatures, or form fields.

1. Open Add Stamps.
2. Add the PDF that needs a status mark.
3. Choose a preset stamp or type a custom label.
4. Adjust color, opacity, rotation, position, and page coverage, then download the stamped copy.

Independent workflow review

Why this page remains separate: This page remains independent because it offers status-stamp presets and custom labels with position, rotation, color, opacity, and page-coverage controls.
