How to add a watermark to a PDF
Protect your documents by adding a text watermark, right from your browser.
What is a watermark for?
A watermark visually marks a document as draft, confidential, or the property of a person or company, discouraging unauthorized distribution.
Choosing the right text
A short, clear word works best: "CONFIDENTIAL", "DRAFT", or your company name are classic and effective choices.
Customizing the appearance
Adjust the opacity so the watermark stays readable without obscuring the content, and the rotation (45° is a classic) so it covers the page well.
Applying the watermark
On the Add Watermark page, upload your PDF, set the text, size, color, and opacity, then download the watermarked document.
FAQ
Is the watermark applied to every page?
Yes, it's automatically repeated across every page of the document.
Can I remove a watermark afterward?
No, the tool adds the watermark permanently to the generated file; always keep a copy of the original.
