How to Add Legal Stamps to PDFs Free — Confidential, Draft & Custom

Why Stamp Legal Documents?

Stamping documents with designations like "CONFIDENTIAL," "DRAFT," "ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT," or "PRIVILEGED" is standard practice in legal and business environments. These stamps communicate the document's status, restrict distribution, and can carry legal weight in disputes over document handling. Failing to mark confidential documents appropriately can waive privilege protections.

Common Legal Stamps

• CONFIDENTIAL — restricts distribution; may support trade secret claims
• DRAFT — indicates the document is not final and may change
• ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGED — asserts legal privilege protection
• ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT — protects materials prepared in anticipation of litigation
• FOR SETTLEMENT PURPOSES ONLY — limits admissibility in court
• COPY — distinguishes from the original

Custom Stamps

Beyond legal presets, you can create any custom stamp. Common examples: company name, department, date received, approval status, or internal reference numbers. The tool lets you set the text, font size, color, rotation, and opacity to match your firm's standards.
