Every preview on this page carries a faint Stamp-Seal watermark. Your own download does not: the editor renders your stamp again, clean, as a transparent PNG, an SVG or a PDF. See the full template library.

A receipt is proof, and a stamped receipt is proof somebody stood behind. Most of the demand for this is not decorative: a tenant wants the rent receipt chopped, a customer wants the deposit slip acknowledged, a supplier wants their delivery note stamped and sent back. All of those are the same operation, and all of them are done today by printing a page and photographing it.

What the editor gives you

PAID, RECEIVED, ACKNOWLEDGED or your own wording, in your own colour.
The date fills itself in, so the receipt records the day it was actually acknowledged.
Put the company chop beside it if the receipt needs the business identified as well.
Works on a PDF receipt, a Word one, or a spreadsheet exported from a till system.
A serial number can be added and it steps on by itself, which is what a receipt book does.

Making one, step by step

Open the tool and drop your PDF, Word or Excel file onto the page.
Pick a stamp from your library, or design one in the pop-up designer.
Click the page where the stamp goes, then drag it or resize it from the corner.
Download the stamped copy. Your original file is never modified.

Questions people ask

What should a receipt stamp say?

PAID with the date is the common one. RECEIVED with the date is for something handed over rather than paid for. If the receipt is being acknowledged by a business, the company chop plus the date is usually what the other side is looking for.

Does a stamped receipt count as proof of payment?

It is evidence of acknowledgement, which is what a receipt is for, and it is treated the way a stamped paper receipt is treated. Where a specific form of receipt is required by law or by a regulator, that requirement comes from them and is worth checking locally.

Can I number the receipts?

Yes. Turn on the serial and it steps on by itself each time you use the stamp, so a run of receipts comes out numbered in sequence rather than all carrying the same number.

Can I stamp a photo of a receipt?

Save the photo as a PDF first, then upload that. The stamp goes onto the page the same way.
