Last updated 16 June 2026.
Guide
You can create a signature stamp by uploading a clear image of your signature and adjusting it in the stamp editor.

Upload your signature image

Before you start, make sure you have a clear image of your signature. You can scan it or take a photo with your phone, then upload it during the design process.

Steps to design your stamp

1

Upload Your Design

Go to the Signature Stamps page to start the customisation process. Choose the colour and quantity of your stamp, then select Upload your design to start designing.

Adjust the image contrast

Use the contrast controls to improve visibility. When you’re done, select Apply. Generally, increasing contrast helps remove background noise and makes your signature clear and more legible on the stamp.

Open the crop tool

Select the signature image, then choose Crop from the image toolbar.

Adjust the crop

Move the white handles to trim the edges close to your signature without cutting off any part of the writing. To adjust proportions freely, turn off Lock aspect ratio. When finished, select Done.
