step 1: find your gif

using pinterest, find a gif of your choosing and save it. you can use any photo/video searching platform for this, i am just using pinterest as an example.

step 2: pick out a stamp template

in order to make stamps, you need a template. this is the ridged outer layer that gives the stamp its shape. there are many different sizes and colors available to choose from across the web. standard stamps are 94x50, but you can make your stamp and templates as large or small as you'd like. the frame i am providing is 99x56. save it to your photos and let's move on to the good stuff!

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦. 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺

step 3: head to ezgif

go to https://ezgif.com/ and click "resizer".

after you are in the resizing menu, select "choose file". this is where you will be importing your gif.

once your gif has been imported, click "upload".

now you can see a menu with different options and numbers. in the width bar, type "99". in the height bar, type "50". do not mess with the percentage or resize method options. under "if aspect ratio does not match", click the blue square to pull up the options. select "stretch to fit".

congratulations, your gif is resized!! you're halfway there. under your gif, click "more tools".

click add overlay/watermark.

this is where we put the stamp border on. you must click "extend canvas size", or the border will not fit.

this is what the canvas looks like when its extended. dont worry, it will be fixed later. click "choose file" and select your stamp template.

once your stamp template has been imported, select "upload image".

dont freak out- the template will be all over the place at first. you must click and drag (or tap and move) to adjust it to fit your stamp. here is before and after.

select "generate image".

now we have to get rid of the transparent space. select "crop". you do not have to crop the stamp yourself. check the box under auto crop that says "trim transparent pixels around image".

YAYAYAY now your animated stamp is complete!!!! make sure to save it.

this is the final result! i hope this tutorial was helpful, i tried to go as in depth as possible. please let me know if there is anything i can change to make it easier to understand, and happy stamp making!! ദ്ദി ( ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ )

Hello, I don’t know if I’m allowed to ask things now or if you’re too busy, but I wondered how you got the stripe texture on these stamps because it looks really nice

I also wondered where you got the transparent frame since it’s really cool too, thanks in advance!

Didn’t realize I already covered this in my stamp tutorial but just think of this one as more in depth.

I use Procreate for this tutorial, which is NOT a free app— but it works virtually the same as Ibis Paint X, which IS a free app.

PNGS YOU WILL NEED (Can work with any stamp frame, this is just for the sake of simplicity)

Add your stamp frame and stamp base to a new canvas.

2. Insert a photo of your choice! Then clip it onto the base.

3. Insert the texture lines, make sure they cover the whole base.

4. Once done adjusting, clip them onto the stamp base as well, overtop the image.

5. Change the blending layer of the lines! I like to use colourburn. Also, play with the opacity.

6. (Not a required step). Now to make the stamp frame translucent, just select it and change the blending mode! I like Soft Light or Overlay.

Boom!! :D

small tutorial on how i make my animated stamps

i use ezgif for them!

it HAS to be a gif file to work. you can change webp files on ezgif in the "webp" section and you just have to delete the v in gifv links.

i always use the image address for my stamp uploads, i dont download any GIFs. i use a PC and the opera GX browser (but you can do it without these things)

1. go to "resize" and resize the GIF to 91:47 and choose "stretch to fit" then press "resize image"

2. press "more tools" in the bottom tool section and then "add overlay / watermark"

3. press "extend canvas size" and then upload your stamp template. you then have to move your stamp template to cover the GIF properly. for the stamp template i always use, it would be L40 T18. most stamp templates will be around this. after youve adjusted it, press "generate image"

4. press "crop" in the more bottom tool section and then select "autocrop". this will only show up if your file is a GIF file. then press "crop image"

5. and you're done!

i made this video incase the written guide is confusing

How do you make stamp gifs? (I want one for a show with a dead fandom)

WONDERFUL AND GREAT QUESTION I'LL SHARE MY KNOWLEDGE. I'll give you the tutorial video I watched, and then I'll explain how I do it! Tutorial video(not mine):

I use two sites, one for resizing and turning things into gifs, and the other for actually making it into a stamp!

Animated image resizer

Simple and free tool to resize (scale) animated images online. Resize animated GIF, WebP, APNG, AVIF images without losing the animation and

This is my resizer, add your file and resize it to your needed dimensions. (Mine are 94 width, 52 height)

I set my aseptic ratio to "stretch to fit" idk what the other ones do, but I like this one

Under it, hit resize image. It'll give you your image, but squished down! Hold down and download that image if it was a gif when you uploaded the file.

If not, click the convert button under your little image and choose "to GIF"

If you have a video, you might need to speed it up a bit to make it fit into gif format. Other than that just click convert to gif and download it.

TO THE NEXT SITE!!!

Online Image Editor

This is literally the first image editor I found that reliably worked, and came from the tutorial video

Click "choose image" (not "upload an image") and select your crushed gif and use that

Click the "Advanced" button and then expand canvas. You'll want a little extra space so you can place your stamp border, set the width to 99 and leave the height at 57. Hit apply. (This is because it's 5 pixels bigger than your normal one)

Now for the boarder!!! You can either make your own (like in the tutorial video), use mine, or find one (will probably have to use different dimensions for that)

Here's the super basic border I made that you can use ^

Okay, add this to your crunched gif by clicking "overlay image" and choosing the border file. Hit upload and it'll appear on screen

Move it around until it sits how you want it to, and then move it once to the left. (This site automatically moves everything one pixel to the right for some reason??) Click apply.

NOW HIT SAVE. And then hit save image local. YOUR GUY IS NOW DOWNLOADED!!! YAYYYYY YAY YOU DID IT!!!!!!!!

Also I'll make stamps for you just ask, or send me/tag me in specific ones you want stamped

Also I made a Len stamp while showing you this process!! Isn't he adorable

How to find the dimensions of the inside of your stamp template on ibis paint x

Here is the stamp template I used:

1. import your picture

2. Select canvas and trim

3 make sure there is a pixel of your template left (otherwise your gif will be too small)

4. Click change canvas size to check your dimensions!

I hope you find this useful <3

I have a question,, when you make stamps how do you add gifs to them? Images sounds easy but idk about gifs..

i actually add them the say way as an image.

see tutorial below the cut

ok, so i'm gonna first want to resize my gif (or image) and i go to ezgif.com. click resize, then choose file, then upload. once it uploads enter the dimentions (usually 99x56) the click resize. once it pops up you can click save

next i'm gonna put the stamp together. i go to my picmix.com acct for this part. (you may need an acct to do this part of the stamp process) first click create a picmix, then click image (select the stamp you just resized at ezgif.com) VERY IMPORTANT: once it pops up on your canvas, don't touch it, don't resize it, just leave it alone. then click insert again (select your stamp template) and it should pop up on your canvas directly ontop of your stamp. click save, then yes. on the last screen you can right click on your stamp to download, then click delete (unless you want to keep it on your picmix) note: before you download and delete your stamp, if your stamp is a gif and you notice the speed is going to fast or to slow, just to the right of your stamp you can use the animation speed dropdown to adjust

ok, last step. i just need to crop my stamp, so i go to online-image-editor.com. click upload image, then once it pops up on your canvas click basic, then crop. then enter your stamp dimentions (99x56). you'll see a red rectangle that you have to drag and drop on top of your stamp. once you did that, then click apply, then click save, and save again and you're all done.

i hope my instructions weren't confusing, if so, i apologize.

if anyone reading this has an easier process for making stamps, please let us know

stamp tutorial!!

for this tutorial i will be using GIMP, a free photo editing software for pc. i will put the link below!

GIMP - Downloads

The official download page for all things GIMP! Please only use the official binaries provided here unless you really, really know what you’

how to make stamps!!

firstly, find a stamp template and open it with GIMP. below is the one i use, but feel free to use any.

add your chosen image as a layer

navigate to file > open as layers... and select your image. make sure to drag the image below the stamp template so that the stamp border appears above it.

2. scale the image to fit

using the unified transform tool, scale your image down to fit in the stamp. if you need to stretch/squeeze your image to fit, turn off scale in the side menu.

3. (if needed) crop any visible edges

if you only want a portion of your image in the stamp, here's how to get rid of the image on the edges. right click on the image layer and click on "add alpha channel" if it's not greyed out. use the rectangle select to select the visible parts of the image on the edges and hit the delete key to get rid of them.

4. export your image

navigate at the top to file > export as... make sure to save it as a png so it's transparent at the edges!!

stamp made:

i hope this is helpful! if you need any further help, there are plenty helpful tutorials online for GIMP.

hi!!!! i’m very reallly really sorgy to bother but if possible could you do a tut on how you make stamps ? i’m having a hard time with mine and was looking for tuts but couldn’t find any good ones… i really adore yr stuff!!!!! again, very VERY sorry to bother please have a good day !!!!!!!!! ^_^

THANK YOUU!! this isn't a bother at all ^^ i'm more than happy to share how i make my stamps!!

SORRY THAT IT TOOK ME A FEW DAYS TO ANSWER THIS ASK BTW!! i put a lot of thought into how to format this tutorial in a way that would make sense

DO let me know if any of this is unclear/if you need more clarification on anything, as this is my first time making a tutorial like this

quick note: im going to be using photopea for this tutorial!! it'll be different depending on what app you use (i'd be willing to make tutorials for other apps too, although i dont think apps like ibis paint x allow for editing gifs)

tutorial is below the cut since it's pretty long

(obviously) get your stamp base(s) and the images/gifs that you want to use for the stamp

a small note on this step, make sure the stamp bases you find are free to use. there have been multiple cases of stamps being reuploaded onto here & other apps when the original creator did not allow for reuploads

2. once you've found a suitable base and images, first import the stamp base & stamp images into photopea. make sure that the layers with the images are BELOW the layer of the stamp base - also adjust the positioning of the image in the stamp to your liking

IF you're editing using gifs make sure that you've selected the WHOLE folder of frames, and not just a singular frame of the gif. selecting only one frame will ruin the flow of the gif. you can just use the undo button if you make this mistake (the undo button can be found on the interface at the top, under the "edit" section)

3. after you've put the stamp image below the base and adjusted it to your liking, is the image protruding out of the base like this?

WORRY NOT! I HAVE THE SOLUTION!

to fix this, we're going to overlay the gif into the border of the stamp. "how do you do this?" you ask? (assuming you asked this...)

first, take the brush tool. it can be found on the left of the interface

the brush tool looks like this btw

use the brush tool to color in ONLY the inside of the stamp. make sure it doesn't go outside of the borders of the stamp. the color you use doesn't matter btw

once you've colored it in like so, put the gif/image ABOVE the layer that you used the brush tool on

make the layer with the image/gif visible again. left click the layer that you used the brush tool on, and click select pixels

this is probably different for photopea on mobile, but ive only ever used photopea on computer 💔 SORRY IF ANY MOBILE USERS ARE READING THIS (if anyone knows the steps to doing this on mobile do feel free to add onto this tutorial)

after selecting the pixels, make sure you are on the layer with the image/gif. navigate to the top part of the interface that says "layer." once you're here, go to "raster mask" and click "reveal selection."

if you're editing using an image only, you can manually erase the image instead of doing all this. i find it easier to do this with images too, just because it feels tedious to manually erase an image like that

small note: gifs CANNOT be manually erased in the same way as images. this is due to the fact that it's basically just a bunch of frames compiled into one file (this is probably a known fact already, but i decided to add this in just to be safe)

4. once you're happy with how the stamp looks, export it!

to export something in photopea, do the following:

press file at the upper left corner

go to "export as"

choose whichever file type you prefer for the stamp. for me, i'm going to export it as a .gif file since the stamp uses a gif

THEN BOOM!!! VOILA!!! YOU NOW HAVE A STAMP!!!

this is how it looks in the end :) don't worry if the stamp looks pixelated!! it's normal, because stamps by default have very small rendering resolutions (i had another term for this in mind but i literally CANNOT remember what it was 😭)

i personally like using psds and overlays to color & texture the stamp if needed (if im making stamps on their own that don't go with a specific set of graphics, then i usually leave it without any texturing or psds)

this tutorial is already really long so i'm not gonna get into the steps of how i color my stamps 😅 BUT let me know if you want me to explain how i color them! i'd be more than happy to show you!!

once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! even though this is really long, i hope it was somewhat understandable

HAVE A GOOD DAY, EVENING, OR NIGHT! TOLETOLES OUT!
