What a dojang is
In Korea, a personal seal (dojang) is still stamped on quotes, invoices, leases and internal approvals where other countries would use a signature. If you run a business or freelance in Korea, Korean partners often expect a red seal next to your name on documents. This tool draws that seal as an image you can drop into Word, HWP, Excel or a PDF.
How to make one
Type 1–4 characters — Hangul, Hanja or Latin letters all work. A three-syllable Korean name plus the character 인 ("seal") fills a classic 2×2 grid, for example 김하나인. Then choose the shape, layout, typeface, ink color, border and stroke weight. The ink texture and bleed sliders make it look hand-stamped; press Re-stamp texture for a different pattern. Save as a transparent PNG at 512, 1024 or 2048 px.
Reading the layouts
Traditional seals are read in vertical columns from right to left. In the two-column vertical layout a three-character name puts the family name alone in the right column and the given name in the left column; four characters read right column top → bottom, then left column. The two-row horizontal layout reads like normal text.
Picking the export size
A stamped seal on paper is typically 1.5–2 cm across. At 300 dpi, 2 cm is about 236 px (2 ÷ 2.54 × 300), so even 512 px prints crisply. A 2048 px seal stays sharp up to roughly 17 cm at 300 dpi.
What it is not
This is a document image, not a registered personal seal (ingam). It does not replace the physical seal registered at a community center and does not by itself prove you stamped a document — check what the other party requires for important contracts. All typefaces are free for commercial use (SIL Open Font License), and your name is drawn locally without being uploaded. Need decorative symbols for the rest of the form? See special characters.
