Name & Date Stamp writes a name, a date or a short line of text directly onto a picture. Set the wording, choose where it sits and how it looks, then download the stamped image. Everything is applied in your browser, with no upload.
Marking a copy so it stays a copy
Documents get photographed and sent constantly — to landlords, employers, verification desks, service providers. Once a clean image of an identity card or certificate is out of your hands, you have no say in where it goes next.
Writing across the copy is the ordinary defence. A line stating who it was given to and why, dated, makes that particular image obviously purpose-specific. It stays perfectly readable for the person who asked for it, and it becomes far less useful to anyone who later gets hold of it.
How to stamp an image

Add the pictureDrop in the photo or scan you want to mark. It loads onto a canvas ready for the stamp.
-
2
Type the textEnter the name, the date, or a short purpose line. Keep it brief enough to read at a glance.
-
3
Style and position itSet the size, colour and placement. Adjust until the stamp is clearly visible without hiding the information the recipient needs.

Writing a stamp that actually helps
A useful stamp answers three things: who the copy is for, what it is for, and when it was issued. Something along the lines of a recipient’s name, the purpose, and the date covers all three and fits on two short lines. Vague wording like “copy” adds nothing, because it does not tie the image to a single use.
Placement is the part people get wrong. A stamp tucked into a corner is trivially cropped out, while one dropped across the middle at full strength can obscure the very detail the recipient needs to read. Angle it across the page at moderate opacity, overlapping the content rather than sitting beside it, and check that names, numbers and photographs are all still legible underneath.
Other things people stamp
- Site and inspection photos. Dated images that record when work was seen, for reports and claims.
- Delivery and condition proof. A photograph marked with the date it was taken.
- Event and class photographs. A name and date added before sharing or printing.
- Draft designs. Work marked as a draft so a preview is not mistaken for a final file.
- Portfolio images. A creator’s name written onto work being shared publicly.
- Records and archives. Scanned paperwork labelled consistently so it can be identified later.
Nothing is uploaded
The stamp is drawn onto your picture by your own browser. The image is read from your device, marked locally, and returned to you — it is never sent to filecrafthub.com or to any other service.
This is the tool where that matters most. The whole point of stamping a document is to limit where an unmarked copy can travel; uploading the unmarked version to a stranger’s server first would defeat the exercise. Here, it never leaves your machine.
What a stamp can and cannot do
Be clear-eyed about this. A stamp is a deterrent and a record of intent, not a security mechanism. Someone determined and reasonably skilled can edit it out of an image. What it reliably does is make casual reuse obvious, discourage opportunistic misuse, and establish that a particular copy was issued for a particular purpose on a particular date.
A stamp is also permanent once applied — it becomes part of the pixels. Keep your unmarked original safely, and produce a freshly stamped copy for each new recipient rather than reusing one you already sent to someone else.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add both a name and a date?
Yes. Enter whatever wording you need — a name, a date, a purpose line, or all three together.
Where should the stamp go?
Across the content rather than in a corner, so it cannot simply be cropped away — but not so heavy that the details underneath become unreadable.
Can the stamp be removed later?
Not from the stamped file, since it becomes part of the image. Keep your original, which the tool never modifies.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The stamp is applied entirely within your browser and the picture never leaves your device.
Does a stamp make my document secure?
It discourages casual misuse and records the purpose of a copy, but a skilled editor could remove it. Treat it as a deterrent, not protection.
Can I stamp a PDF?
This tool works on images. Convert a PDF page with PDF to JPG first, stamp it, then convert back if you need a document.
Is it free?
Yes — free and unlimited, with no sign-up and no branding added to your image.
