Which File Format to Use for Your Stamp (PNG, SVG, PDF, EPS)

After you design your stamp online, you’ll need to choose an export format. Here’s when to use each.

PNG — high-res with transparent background

Best for digital use: emails, websites, social media, or anywhere you need a clear image with no white box around the stamp. Use a high resolution (e.g. 3x) if you need to scale up.

SVG — perfect for engraving or resizing

Best for manufacturing and scaling: send to a stamp maker for physical rubber stamps or embossers. SVG is vector-based, so it stays sharp at any size. Ideal for laser engraving or professional production.

PDF — great for formal docs

Best for official documents and print: contracts, certificates, letterhead. Many print shops and offices prefer PDF. Export once and use everywhere you need a formal stamp image.

EPS — for print shops and design software

Best when you need a print-production file for professional design tools or stamp manufacturers that prefer EPS alongside SVG.
