Stamp Identifier

Identify a stamp from a picture

Stamp Identifier helps collectors and the stamp-curious find out what a stamp is. Take a photo, choose one from your gallery, or share an image from another app, and the app searches for a match. Results draw on Colnect’s stamp catalogue, with details to help you learn more about the item.

Useful when a stamp turns up

This is a practical reference for sorting through an inherited collection, checking a stamp you’ve come across, or putting a name to one you want to revisit. You can save stamps to a favorites list, so an interesting find does not have to be identified and forgotten in the same sitting.

Image recognition works best when the stamp fills the picture and the image is clear. Cropping away the background and avoiding blurry photos can make a difference. If a stamp is not found, the app offers a “Not found?” option for help from a person.

A collector’s tool with a community behind it

The app is made by Colnect Collectors Community, and its Social category reflects that collector-focused setting. Stamp Identifier is most useful when you have an actual image to check; it is less of a general introduction to philately than a lookup tool you can return to as new stamps cross your path.

What its listing suggests

With 100,000+ installs, it has reached a sizable audience, though its 3.47 rating across 1,752 reviews suggests the recognition experience may not be consistent for everyone. That is worth keeping in mind: the catalogue and saved favorites can make it a handy companion, but the result depends in part on the quality and framing of the image you provide.
