## About

### The real perforated stamp edge

A postage stamp's signature look is its perforated edge — the row of tiny scalloped notches punched around the border. Stamp Maker recreates it exactly by cutting semicircular perforations into the frame on an HTML canvas, so the transparent cutout has genuine stamp teeth instead of a flat rectangle. Drop in any photo, choose how big the perforations are, and the edge redraws instantly.

### Style it, then drop it anywhere

Pick a square, tall, wide or circular cutter to suit your image, set the frame ring to white, a pastel or any custom colour, and add a colour tint over the photo for a vintage or on-brand wash. Because the export is a transparent PNG, you can drop your stamp straight onto a scrapbook page, a story, a sticker sheet or a design mockup. Everything renders in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

## FAQ

### How do I turn a photo into a postage stamp?

Upload your photo, choose a cutter shape (square, vertical, horizontal or circle), set the frame colour and perforation size, then click Download to save a transparent PNG with the classic stamp edge.

### Is the exported stamp transparent?

Yes. The export is a PNG with a real scalloped, perforated edge — the notches and everything outside the stamp are fully transparent, so you can drop it onto any background.

### Which cutter shapes are available?

Four: square, vertical (portrait), horizontal (landscape) and circle. Each keeps the authentic perforated postage edge.

### Can I change the frame colour and add a tint?

Yes. Pick from preset frame colours or choose any custom colour, and optionally add a colour tint over the photo with an adjustable strength for a vintage or on-brand look.

### Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The stamp is drawn entirely in your browser on an HTML canvas. Your photo is never uploaded, stored or sent anywhere.
