A company stamp maker for seals, signatory and PAID stamps
This company stamp maker draws six kinds of office stamp: a round seal with the company name curved around the top, an oval seal, the familiar “For Company / Authorised Signatory” stamp, a date stamp, a PAID or APPROVED mark, and an address stamp. Choose the ink colour, add a rubber texture if you like, and download a transparent 600 DPI PNG, a vector SVG or a PDF at actual size.
Everything is drawn in your browser; the company name and logo you enter never leave your device. Before any download you confirm that the stamp is for your own business, and wording that points to a government, court, notary or police seal is refused.
How to use the Company Stamp Maker
- Choose a Stamp type — the thumbnails show each one with your text.
- Type the company name and the other lines under Text. For a round seal, add the bottom text (a city or “Authorised Signatory”) and choose a star, text or your logo for the centre.
- Under Ink, font & size, set the ink colour, font and size in millimetres. Use the size of the physical stamp you will order.
- Switch the preview to On a document to see the stamp at true scale beside a signature line.
- Tick the confirmation box and download the PNG, SVG or PDF.
Company Stamp Maker features
Real text on a curve
Every letter of a round or oval seal is placed on the baseline circle and turned to its tangent. Top text reads clockwise; bottom text reads left to right, upright, like a real seal.
Six stamp types
Round seal, oval seal, signatory stamp, date stamp, PAID / APPROVED / CANCELLED marks and an address stamp with GSTIN, each sized in millimetres.
Transparent 600 DPI PNG
The PNG has no background and stores 600 DPI, so a 40 mm seal is exactly 992 pixels wide and prints at its true size.
Vector SVG and PDF
Text is converted to outlines, so stamp makers get crisp artwork without your fonts; the SVG keeps the texture as a transparent mask.
Logo in one ink colour
An uploaded logo is converted to the ink colour — dark parts print, white becomes transparent — the way a rubber stamp would print it.
Does a company in India still need a seal?
No law requires one any more. The Companies (Amendment) Act, 2015 (Act 21 of 2015, assent 25 May 2015; these sections were brought into force on 29 May 2015) removed the words “and a common seal” from section 9 of the Companies Act, 2013 and made the seal optional elsewhere. Where a company has no common seal, documents are authorised by two directors, or by a director and the company secretary (proviso to section 22(2)), and share certificates can be signed the same way (section 46).
In practice many banks and offices still ask for a “seal and signature”, so most firms keep a rubber stamp. The common “For <Company> / Authorised Signatory” stamp is a business convention rather than a legal form: the signature, not the ink, is what binds the company, and the signer must actually be authorised (for example by a board resolution). This is general information, not legal advice.
Which stamp to use for what
| Stamp | Typical use | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Round seal | Agreements, certificates, letters to banks | Names under about 30 characters keep the letters large |
| For Company / Authorised Signatory | Invoices, receipts, letters signed for the firm | Sign in the gap between the two lines |
| Date stamp | Inward mail, “Received on” records | Set the date before each download |
| PAID / APPROVED | Invoices, bills, vouchers | Red ink and a slight tilt make it stand out |
| Address stamp | Envelopes, delivery challans | Up to four lines: address, phone, GSTIN |
Worked example: a 40 mm round seal
With the defaults, the outer ring is 0.9 mm thick with a thin second ring inside it, and the text band is 19% of the diameter (7.6 mm). Letters are 64% of the band tall, and the top text is spread evenly over 228° of the circle, leaving room for two stars and the bottom text at six o’clock. The PNG adds 1 mm of clear margin on each side: 42 mm ÷ 25.4 × 600 DPI = 992 pixels square. The PDF page is the same 42 mm (119.06 points), so printing it at 100% gives the true size.
What this maker will not make
The State Emblem of India (Prohibition of Improper Use) Act, 2005 forbids using the emblem, or an imitation of it, in a way that suggests a link with the Government, or for any trade, business or profession (sections 3 and 4). The Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950 restricts the names and emblems in its Schedule in the same way. So typed text mentioning the government, Satyameva Jayate, the State Emblem, courts, police, notaries, magistrates or agencies such as UIDAI and the Reserve Bank of India is refused. Uploaded images cannot be checked automatically, which is why every download needs your confirmation. A stamp image is also not a digital signature — see the Signature Maker for what electronic-signature law says.
Company Stamp Maker FAQ
Is a company seal mandatory in India?
No. Since the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2015 the common seal is optional; documents can instead be signed by two directors, or by a director and the company secretary. Some institutions still ask for a stamp out of habit.
What should a “For Company / Authorised Signatory” stamp say?
The first line is “For” plus the registered name exactly as registered (for example “For Northwind Studio Pvt. Ltd.”), and the second names the role: Authorised Signatory, Director, Partner or Proprietor. Leave space between them for the signature.
How do I put the stamp on a PDF?
Download the transparent PNG, then place it with Add Stamp to PDF, or sign and stamp together with Sign PDF.
Can a rubber-stamp shop make a real stamp from this design?
Yes. Send the SVG or the PDF — both are vector at the exact millimetre size you set. Make the design the same size as the stamp model you order.
Which ink colour should I choose?
Blue and violet are the usual office colours; red is often used for PAID, CANCELLED or URGENT marks. A colour other than black also helps show that a stamp was applied by hand rather than photocopied.
Why was my stamp text refused?
It contains wording that belongs to an official seal — government, court, police, notary or a regulator. This maker only makes stamps for private businesses.
