PDF Watermark

Stamp a text or image watermark on every page of a PDF. Choose the position, rotation, size and opacity — perfect for drafts and branded documents.

OR DRAG & DROP HERE — ONE FILE AT A TIME

Choose a PDF, then set your watermark (text or logo).
Note: The watermark is drawn over a copy — the original content stays intact and selectable. Everything runs on your device.

What is a watermark?

A watermark is a text or logo stamped over the content of every page — like "DRAFT", "CONFIDENTIAL" or your company logo. It marks the document's status and ownership without blocking the reading.

How to use this tool

  1. Drop a PDF file (or click to choose it).
  2. Type the watermark text (or upload a logo image).
  3. Choose the position, rotation, size and opacity.
  4. Click ADD WATERMARK & DOWNLOAD.

Text or image?

  • Text — fast and crisp; the font is embedded automatically.
  • Image — a logo (PNG with transparency works best) placed on every page.

The opacity slider (10–100%) controls how visible the watermark is — lower values keep the document easy to read while still marking it.

Your privacy

Watermarking runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF and logo are never sent to any server and never stored.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add a text watermark?+

Yes. Type the text (e.g. DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, your name or company) and it is stamped on every page. You can adjust the size, position, rotation and opacity.

Can I use my logo as a watermark?+

Yes. Switch to the image option and upload a logo — PNG with transparency works best. It is placed on every page at the size and position you choose.

Does watermarking change the original content?+

No. The watermark is drawn over the pages in a new copy — the original text, images and links stay intact and selectable. The original file is never modified.

What is a good opacity for a watermark?+

For marking a document without hiding content, 20–40% is typical. For 'CONFIDENTIAL' stamps you want people to notice, 50–80% works well. 100% is fully solid.

Can I rotate the watermark diagonally?+

Yes. The diagonal option rotates the text (or image) across the page — the classic watermark look. You can also keep it horizontal with center, top or bottom positions.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?+

No. Everything happens locally in your browser — the file and the logo never leave your device.
