Turn a stamp photo into a document-ready image

Remove the paper around a stamp and save a transparent PNG. Keep the original texture or use a uniform color, then add it to your documents.

Transparent PNG

Remove the background so a white rectangle does not cover document text or lines.

Rotation and color

Adjust rotation and perspective, and fill extracted strokes with a uniform color.

When you need your usual stamp for an insurance claim

You do not need to make a new stamp image. Stamp a sheet of paper with your usual seal, then take a photo or scan it. Remove the background to save just the ink impression as a transparent PNG for your document.

Check first whether the insurer accepts an electronic document with a stamp image. In Korea, it may require a hand-stamped original, a registered-seal certificate (인감증명서) or a personal-signature confirmation (본인서명사실확인서). A PNG cannot replace those required documents.

Tips for cleaner results

Bright light, straight on

Stamp plain, light paper and focus carefully. Avoid shadows and glare for better results.

Select just around the stamp

Reduce surrounding text and excess space. Black stamps cannot be automatically separated from text of the same color.

Be gentle with faint strokes

Lower removal strength if strokes disappear. Covered or broken strokes are not restored or redrawn.

Only use photos you have permission to use. Convert HEIC, HEIF or AVIF to JPG or PNG first. If the camera button does not work, use Choose a stamp photo.

Add your stamp to a document

Place the stamp over the (인) seal mark beside the name. Its transparent background keeps the document visible. Resize proportionally to fit the signature area.

Check whether your PDF app supports image insertion. Acrobat Reader creates custom stamps from PDF only, which differs from inserting a PNG. Reopen the saved file to check.

Background removal FAQ

Are photos stored on a server?

Photos are processed in this browser without uploading. Only result PNGs you explicitly keep in My stamps are stored here. Original photos are not stored.

Is the checkerboard saved too?

Checkerboard, paper, white and dark are preview backgrounds only. They are not included in the saved PNG. Insert it into a document to check transparency.

Strokes fade or paper stains remain.

Select around the stamp and adjust removal strength. Raise it for stains; lower it if faint strokes disappear. Plain, light paper photographed straight on works best.

Can overlapping black text or lines be removed?

For red stamps, compare with Reduce document lines and text enabled. Same-color text is hard to distinguish, and fully covered strokes cannot be restored. Turn it off if dark stamp strokes disappear.

Is AI assistance always better?

No. This experimental model is trained on synthetic images, so the standard method may work better on some photos. Compare both and check the original strokes before saving.

Can I access saved stamps on another device?

My stamps stores images only in this browser, with no account sync. Download PNGs and transfer them to use on another device. Clearing browser data may delete saved stamps.
