One scan, useful context
From mystery stamp to a structured result.
Stampy turns the image into practical collecting information, without making you learn a catalog system first.

See an estimated value and rarity/condition context
Review historical and issue information
Save the result to your personal collection
Estimated values are informational and can differ from realized sale prices. Rare or high-value items may require professional authentication or appraisal.
How it works
Three steps. No catalog hunt.
Good light and a sharp, straight-on photo give the app more visual detail to work with.
Capture
Place the stamp clearly in frame and take a photo, or choose an existing image.
Identify
Stampy analyzes the visual features and returns the most relevant issue information it can match.
Keep
Review the result, value context and details, then save the stamp into your digital collection.
More than a scanner
Your collection, with a memory.
Identifications are more useful when they do not disappear into your camera roll. Stampy lets you keep a digital record of the stamps you care about and organize them as your collection grows.
OrganizeKeep identified stamps together in a searchable digital collection.
StructureUse folders and notes to add your own context and physical storage references.
PrioritizeSort by value and mark favorites to focus on the pieces that matter most.

Where Stampy fits

Check before you forget.
Identify a new find while the context is still fresh and save it to your collection.
Reduce repetitive lookup.
Use a scan as a quick starting point, then confirm exceptional pieces with specialist references.
Know what deserves a second look.
Use identification and value context to prioritize research before listing or appraisal.
Collector guides

Keep the SEO depth in editorial pages, not as a wall of keywords on the homepage.
FAQ
Useful answers, without the mega-FAQ wall.
Can Stampy tell me what my stamp is worth?
Stampy can provide an estimated value based on the information available for the identified issue and its condition context. It is not a guaranteed sale price. Actual value depends on authenticity, exact variety, condition and current buyer demand.
Do I need to know the country or year first?
No. The point of photo-based identification is to start from the stamp itself. Clear design elements, inscriptions, denomination, color and other visible features help the app identify the likely issue.
What photo gives the best result?
Use even lighting, keep the stamp flat, photograph it straight-on, avoid glare and make sure the entire stamp is sharp and visible against a simple background.
Can Stampy replace a professional expert?
It is a fast identification and research tool, not a certification service. For valuable, rare, altered or potentially forged stamps, professional expertization remains the appropriate next step.
Can I organize my collection in the app?
Yes. Stampy includes collection tools, including folders, personal notes, favorites, value sorting and iCloud-based syncing across supported Apple devices.
Which devices are supported?
Stampy is available for iPhone and iPad and currently requires iOS 17.0 or iPadOS 17.0 or later.
