What turns a photograph into a stamp
Three steps, one control
Every pixel is compared against a cut-off, the lighter half is deleted, and whatever survives is tinted with one ink. That is the entire recipe for a stamp, and the cut-off slider is the only thing you have to judge.
A real stamp has no midtones
Ink either transferred or it did not. Grey is what gives away a digital fake, which is why thresholding rather than desaturating is what makes an image read as pressed rather than pasted.
Finding the cut-off
Start at 190 and move it until the shapes you care about survive and the background does not. Too high and the subject dissolves into speckle; too low and the whole frame turns into one solid block.
Pick a high-contrast source
This works on subjects that read as a shape — a portrait against a plain wall, a bold graphic, a leaf. A busy scene with no clear separation between subject and background has no cut-off that helps it.
Traditional inks
The default is the deep red of an office date stamp. Black reads as official, dark blue as a bank endorsement, and green shows up on inspection and approval marks.
Making it read as pressed
Rotate it a few degrees
A stamp placed at exactly zero degrees looks pasted on. Two or three degrees of tilt is the single biggest tell.
Drop the opacity slightly
Real ink transfers unevenly. Around 85 percent opacity reads as pressed; 100 percent reads as printed.
Do not stamp a busy photo
Thresholding needs a subject that separates from its background. A crowded scene turns into noise at every cut-off.

What people use it for
The jobs the editor was built around — and what it does differently on each one.
Colourways you can revisit
Every edit is a layer, not a bake. When the brand shifts, reopen the file and change the colour rather than rebuilding the variant from the original.
Cutouts with awkward edges
AI background removal that keeps hair, foliage and soft shadows instead of stamping a hard outline around them. The output is a transparent PNG, ready to place.
No export, edit, re-import loop
The Framer plugin runs on the canvas you are already working in, so a recolour or a cutout does not mean a round trip through a second application.
Ten options in the time one used to take
Recolour once and step through the alternatives, so a client review can look at the whole range instead of the one version there was time to make.
Brand colours matched exactly
Pick a colour straight off an existing asset and get the hex, rather than eyeballing it against a screenshot and hoping it is close enough.
Free to preview, priced per export
Previewing is unlimited and costs nothing. A credit is spent only when you download a full-resolution file, so exploring an idea is never the expensive part.
