# Creating stamp annotations using JavaScript

Learn how to create stamp annotations using JavaScript. Stamp annotations can be easily generated from an image as a data URI. Utilize the ImageData key property to set your desired data URI value. St

Stamp annotations can be created from an image as a data URI. The key property for stamps is `ImageData` which you set with the value of your data URI. For example:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="JavaScript (SDK v8.0+)" %}
{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```js
WebViewer(...)
  .then(instance => {
    const { Annotations, annotationManager, documentViewer } = instance.Core;

    documentViewer.addEventListener('documentLoaded', () => {
      const stampAnnot = new Annotations.StampAnnotation();
      stampAnnot.PageNumber = 1;
      stampAnnot.X = 100;
      stampAnnot.Y = 250;
      stampAnnot.Width = 275;
      stampAnnot.Height = 40;
      const keepAsSVG = false;
      stampAnnot.setImageData('image data (URL or base64) goes here', keepAsSVG);
      stampAnnot.Author = annotationManager.getCurrentUser();

      annotationManager.addAnnotation(stampAnnot);
      annotationManager.redrawAnnotation(stampAnnot);
    })

  })
```

{% endcode %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.apryse.com/web/get-started/guides/create-annotation-stamp.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
