Download a free APPROVED stamp image below in red, blue, or black. Each PNG has a transparent background, so the text under the stamp stays readable.
An APPROVED stamp shows that a person with authority has checked a document and agreed to it. It works best when the page also shows who approved it and when.

When to use an APPROVED stamp
- Purchase requests and quotes: Stamp the request after the budget holder agrees, then send the stamped copy to the person who places the order.
- Drawings and proofs: Mark the revision that the client or the reviewer accepted, so nobody builds or prints from an older file.
- Leave and expense forms: Return a stamped copy to the employee as a record that the form was accepted.
- Timesheets: Stamp each timesheet after review and before it goes to payroll.
Where to put the stamp
- Put the stamp near the signature block or the approval box, not across the body text.
- Keep the revision number, the date, and the totals visible.
- Add a signature or initials image beside the stamp when the reader must know who approved the document.
- Use one color for one meaning. For example, keep red for PAID and use blue or black for APPROVED.
Add the APPROVED stamp to a PDF

- Choose Download stamped PDF. The new file has -stamped in its name, and the original is not changed.
What the stamp does not do
The stamp is a visual label. It does not record who placed it, and it does not lock the document. If your process needs proof of the approver, add a signature, keep the approval email, or use a certificate-based digital signature.
