After processing
Review, download, and continue after Stamp PDF
A completed result still deserves a quick check. Keep the original, inspect the output type and contents, and decide what should happen next before you share it.
Output to verify
Result type: PDF outputCreate a supported text or image stamp, place it on the required pages, and export a clearly marked document.
Check page order, orientation, text, permissions, and any visible signatures before sharing the PDF.
Review the output
Check page order, text, orientation, and the number of files in the workspace before sending anything.
Download your copy
Use the workspace Download action after the result is ready. A browser handoff does not prove that a file was saved to disk.
Delete now when offered
If this workspace offers Delete now, use it after downloading. Availability depends on the tool and current result path.
Continue with the next task
Keep the source until you have verified the result, then move to a related PDF task or return to the tools catalog.
Practical example
Mark reviewed pages as APPROVED
Starting point
A document has completed internal review and each accepted page needs the same visible approval stamp.
Result to check
Configure the stamp and location, preview the marked pages, and download the stamped PDF after confirming the status is accurate.
Premium and Stamp PDF
When Stamp PDF needs more than Free
Free covers three completed jobs a day, 25 files, 100 MB, and 500 pages per task. Premium raises those limits and adds OCR, existing-text editing, repair, compare, forms, and automation.
Usually next: Keep the result and move straight into the next tool without re-uploading.
Paddle shows the exact amount, taxes, renewal date, and any eligible trial before you confirm. Stop future renewals yourself from your TapScanner billing account.
- OCR that makes scans searchable and selectable
- Editing the text that already exists in a PDF
- Repair for files that refuse to open
- Compare two revisions and see what changed
- Up to 100 files and 1 GB in one task, no page cap
- No daily job cap, subject to fair-use protection
Work with confidence
Clear limits and an output you can review
Know the access level
The first eligible task can be completed before login. Current file, page, and usage limits are shown in the workspace.
Keep document data out of analytics
TapScanner web's application data layer rejects filenames and document contents. Published analytics destinations require separate configuration verification.
Temporary storage during processing
Hosted processing paths may use temporary files. In the pinned core's normal download path, the output file is removed when the stream closes; scheduled cleanup covers stale temporary files.
Hosted processing
Web tools may send files to TapScanner's hosted processing service. We do not currently offer a customer-selectable processing region, so do not assume processing stays on your device or in a particular country.
Delete when offered
Delete-now is available only when a result screen explicitly offers it; it is not yet supported by every web tool.
Check the finished file
Open the downloaded result and verify important pages, values, formatting, and permissions before relying on it.

Questions
Stamp PDF FAQ
Can I use Stamp PDF for free?
Yes. Your first eligible task can be completed before login. TapScanner shows the current file, page, and daily limits before processing.
What is the difference between a PDF stamp and a watermark?
A stamp marks a chosen location with text or an image. A watermark is usually repeated or styled as a broader page-level document marking.
Do I need to install software for Stamp PDF?
No. TapScanner runs in a modern web browser, so you can upload, process, and download the result without installing desktop software.
