Is this Chinese seal design generator free to use?
Yes — you can generate one custom seal design in any of the 4 traditional styles during your free trial (once per account). HD export at 3000×3000px with transparent background is a premium feature.
What's the difference between yangwen and yinwen?
Yangwen (positive script) carves characters in relief — the stamped image shows red characters on a white background. Yinwen (negative script) is the opposite — white characters on a red field. Yangwen is bold and authoritative; yinwen is elegant and classical, favored by scholars.
Can I use the seal design for commercial purposes?
The default license covers personal use: artwork, personal branding, digital signatures, and gifts. For commercial use (logos, products, merchandise), contact us for an extended license.
Which seal shape should I choose — square or round?
Square seals are traditional for name seals and feel formal. Round seals are often used for artistic chops on paintings and calligraphy. Both shapes are included in the HD export at 3000×3000px.
Which seal style is most traditional?
Zhuanshu (seal script) is the oldest and most traditional — it uses the ancient seal script used in Chinese seals for over 2,000 years. A yangwen-zhuanshu combination is the classic form still used by calligraphers and artists today.
About Chinese Seals (Chops)
Chinese seals, also known as chops or stamps, have been used for thousands of years as personal signatures, marks of authority, and works of art. A Chinese seal is far more than just a stamp — it is a deeply personal expression of identity and artistic taste.
Traditional Chinese seals are carved from stone, ivory, or wood, and dipped in red cinnabar ink before being pressed onto paper. The result is a distinctive red mark that serves as a personal signature, a certification of authenticity, or a decorative element in Chinese calligraphy and painting.
Our Custom Seal Design service creates electronic seal images that capture the essence of traditional Chinese seal carving. Whether you want a personal chop for your artwork, a unique branding element, or a meaningful gift, our designs honor the rich heritage of this ancient art form.
How to choose your seal style
Not sure which style fits you? Here's a quick guide to matching a seal style to how you will use it.
For calligraphy lovers
Choose 朱文 (yangwen) with 篆刻 (zhuanshu) — the classic form still used by calligraphers and artists.
For a modern digital signature
Pick clean 朱文 (yangwen) — bold red characters read clearly at any size on screen.
For a classical, scholarly feel
Go with 白文 (yinwen) — elegant white characters on red, long favored by scholars.
For striking visual contrast
Try 阴阳文 (yinyang) — a dynamic mix of positive and negative carving in one seal.
