PNG or SVG: which stamp file should you use?

Understand transparency, resolution and scale so your stamp stays sharp in documents, print and production.

PNG is simple and widely supported

PNG works in most office tools and supports transparent backgrounds. It is the practical choice for a stamp that will be placed in a PDF, document or presentation.

SVG stays sharp at every size

SVG stores the stamp as editable vector geometry. Lines and letters remain sharp when the artwork is enlarged for print, engraving or signage.

Keep both when possible

A transparent PNG covers daily use. An SVG gives you a production master that can be resized or edited later without losing detail.

  • PNG for office documents
  • SVG for printers and production teams
  • White JPG only when transparency is not supported
