One square. Four coordinates.

FAQ
Chinese seal maker FAQ
Seven answers before you carve the final square.
01What is a Chinese seal maker?
A Chinese seal maker is a tool that turns a name or short phrase into a square seal design. It converts the characters into seal script, arranges them in the traditional reading order, and renders the result as an image. This Chinese seal maker produces a 1024 px PNG that you can download for personal use.
02Is a Chinese seal maker the same as a Chinese stamp maker?
In everyday search language, yes. People use Chinese seal maker and Chinese stamp maker to describe the same kind of name-stamp design tool. A traditional Chinese seal is carved and pressed into red paste; a rubber stamp is a modern cousin. This Chinese stamp maker follows the older seal layout.
03Can I use a Western name?
This tool accepts Chinese characters only. If you have an English name, generate a Chinese name first, then bring the characters here. A three-character Chinese name usually gives the most balanced seal.
04How many characters should a seal have?
One to four characters work. Three-character names are the most common. A two-character name gains 之印 in this Chinese seal maker; a four-character name fills the square without a suffix. The four-character grid reads top right, bottom right, top left, bottom left.
05What is the difference between yangwen and yinwen?
Yangwen (朱文) prints red characters on a light ground. Yinwen (白文) reverses the field: white characters cut out of a solid red square. Both are traditional; yangwen tends to look lighter, while yinwen reads as a denser block of color.
06Is the downloaded seal really free?
Yes. The Chinese seal maker on this page is free to use and returns a 1024 × 1024 PNG without a sign-up. You can download one seal at a time; the server limits automated requests so the tool stays available.
07Can I use the seal commercially?
The rendered image can be used in personal and commercial projects. The typeface is CC BY-ND 3.0 TW: credit Xiaoxuetang / Academia Sinica, and do not modify or redistribute the font file itself. A decorative seal is not a legally registered signature or company chop.
Colophon
Small-seal script.
Chongxi Seal Script follows Qin and Han forms. It is a typeface, not a modern sans — the strokes are the point.
