The most common process is by soaking. Soak the stamps in cold water. After about fifteen minutes, most stamps will slide off of the paper. You would then dry them on blotting paper or towels. Weight is useful in keeping them flat. Also, be cautious of bright colored envelope bits. Red is particularly nasty, soak them separately from the others unless you want pink stamps!

Note that most stamps are designed so that they cannot be reused, even if they are not cancelled.

∙ 14y agoFor over a century the primary way of removing stamps from envelopes is soaking them in water. But before removing the stamps from envelopes, make sure you have determined that there isn't value in having it on the envelope, such as special cancellations, usages or advertising that a collector would prefer to just a stamp.
