Making your own photo stamps is a quick, fun way to personalize your mail. Our How to Make Photo Stamps guide will show you the simple steps to get you mailing in no time.

Step 1: Choose Your Photo

Use all the great digital photos you’ve taken this year to create photo stamps. Or, scan in an old favorite. # Decide who or what should be on the stamp: your dog, your new baby, an old photo of your grandfather in his Air Force uniform. # You can also scan in drawings your kids have made and turn those into stamps.

Step 2: Use a Stamp-Making Site

A few websites specializing in photo stamps make creating your own postage quick and easy. Beware of imitators; always look for the USPS symbol to be sure the stamps you have chosen are authorized to mail. Two popular vendors are:

1. Photo Stamps
2. Zazzle
