A watermark brands a document and warns off casual copying in a single move: your name, logo or a word like DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL, laid across every page at the strength you choose. This tool stamps text or image watermarks onto a PDF in your browser, with control over position, size, rotation and transparency.

How to use this tool

  • Upload the PDF you want to mark.
  • Type your watermark text (or upload a logo/image) and choose its position, size and opacity.
  • Apply the watermark and download the stamped PDF.

Visible, but not in the way

The craft of a good watermark is balance: strong enough to survive a screenshot and identify the source, faint enough that the document still reads professionally. Diagonal placement at low opacity is the classic compromise, which is why official drafts and photographer proofs have worn that look for decades.

Frequently asked questions

Can a watermark be removed from a PDF?
A watermark added as part of the page content is difficult to remove cleanly without the original file, which is the point. It deters casual misuse rather than providing absolute security.
Should my watermark be text or an image?
Text suits labels like CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT or a copyright line. An image suits logos and branding. Both can be faded and rotated the same way here.
Does the watermark appear on every page?
Yes, by default the stamp repeats on every page in the same position, so a single extracted page still carries the mark.
