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 PAID stamp on an invoice is a bookkeeping record. The useful part is not the word, it is the date beside it, because that is what reconciles against the bank statement.

What the editor gives you

PAID with a date that resolves when you apply it.
Space for a payment reference or a cheque number.
Optional receipt sequence, so each marked invoice takes its own number.
Red, blue, green or black, in the shape your ledger already uses.

Making one, step by step

Open the stamp maker and pick a shape, or start from a template.
Type your wording, then set the colour, border and size.
Add the date, time, serial number or logo, and position each one.
Preview it live, then download. Designing and previewing are free.

Questions people ask

Can I put the payment reference on it?

Yes, as a fixed line if it is the same every time, or as a serial that increments if you want a running receipt number.

Should the date be the payment date or today?

Whichever you are recording. Leave it empty to take the day you stamp, or type the settlement date if you are marking up an invoice after the fact. Both are correct as long as the file matches what happened.

Can I stamp the PDF directly?

Putting the stamp onto a PDF is included with a plan. Downloading the stamp image itself is pay as you go and works with any PDF editor you already have.
