Add a watermark to a PDF online

A watermark stamps your pages with text or an image, marking a document as a draft, as confidential, or as your own work. The Add Watermark to PDF tool overlays your watermark across every page in your browser, with nothing uploaded.

It's a fast way to brand, protect, or label a document before you share it.

How to add a watermark

Click Choose File and select your PDF.
Add your watermark text or upload an image.
Set how it looks, such as position and transparency.
Press Apply and download your watermarked PDF.

Why it's worth using

Text or image: stamp a word like DRAFT or place your logo.
Across every page: the watermark applies throughout the document.
Kept private: everything runs on your side, so your file isn't shared with a server.
Completely free: use it as often as you like, with nothing stamped on your file.

When it comes in handy

Mark a file as DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL.
Brand a proposal or report with your logo.
Discourage misuse of work you share for review.
Label copies so versions are easy to tell apart.

A few things people wonder

Can I use text and an image? You can add a text watermark or an image watermark to suit your needs.

Can I control how it looks? Yes, adjust details such as position and transparency.

Is the watermark permanent? It's saved into the PDF you download.

Is my file uploaded? No, the watermark is applied on your device.

Will it cover my content? A semi-transparent watermark marks the page while keeping the text readable.

Tip

A light, diagonal watermark across the centre of the page is hard to crop out yet still leaves your content easy to read.
