How it works
How to add a watermark to a PDF
To add a watermark to a PDF, open it above, type your text, adjust how it looks, and press Watermark. The text is stamped onto the pages you choose.
The preview is created by the same process as the final file, so what you see is exactly what you will get, including on pages that are stored sideways.
- 01
Open your PDF
A preview of the first page appears with a sample watermark.
- 02
Write the text
Type anything, such as CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, a client name or a date.
- 03
Style it
Choose position (center, top, bottom or repeated), font size, colour, opacity and angle. The preview updates as you go.
- 04
Choose pages and save
Apply to every page or only to the pages you list, then download the watermarked PDF.
Features
What it does well
True preview
The preview is a real watermarked page, not an overlay, so placement is exact.
Repeat pattern
Tile the text across the whole page, which makes it much harder to crop out.
Selected pages
Mark only certain pages, for example 1, 3-5, and leave the rest clean.
Correct on rotated pages
Pages stored sideways still get an upright watermark in the position you chose.
Good to know
- Text watermarks only; image or logo watermarks are not supported yet.
- The built-in font supports Latin letters, numbers and common punctuation, not other scripts such as Chinese or Arabic.
- A watermark is added as page content. It deters copying but can be removed by someone with a PDF editor.
Privacy
The watermark is drawn onto your PDF inside this browser tab. The file and the text you type are never uploaded.
