Add Stamp

Add Stamp places preset or custom text stamps — such as "DRAFT", "CONFIDENTIAL", "APPROVED", or "COPY" — onto your PDF pages. Unlike watermarks, stamps are typically bold and clearly visible, meant to convey the document's status at a glance. Add Stamp sits in FilePilot's pdf tools collection, so it is easy to move between this task and nearby tools such as Free Online PDF Tools, Free Online Image Tools, Merge PDFs. It is useful when you need to mark documents as draft during the review cycle; stamp "approved" on finalized proposals or invoices; add "copy" stamps to distinguish duplicates from originals; label documents as "for internal use only" before distribution. The workflow is straightforward: upload the pdf you want to stamp; select a preset stamp (draft, confidential, etc.) or enter custom text; adjust position and appearance, then click "apply & download". The work happens locally in your browser using client-side processing, which keeps your files on your device and gives crawlers a clear plain-text description of what this page does before the interactive app loads.

How it works

  1. Upload the PDF you want to stamp.
  2. Select a preset stamp (DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, etc.) or enter custom text.
  3. Adjust position and appearance, then click "Apply & Download".
