About the PDF Watermark Tool
This tool adds a text watermark to every page of a PDF. Type the wording, set opacity and position, and each page is stamped with it — the usual way to mark a document DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL or as a specific reviewer's copy.
Add a watermark to PDF files when the document's status needs to be obvious at a glance. DRAFT stops an unfinished version being treated as final, CONFIDENTIAL discourages forwarding, and a recipient's name marks which copy went where if a file later leaks.
The watermark is your own text, drawn over each page at an opacity you choose. Keep it low and the page stays readable with the mark clearly visible; raise it and the stamp dominates. Position controls where it sits, so it need not cover body text or a signature block.
The mark is drawn into the page content, so it survives printing, flattening and reopening in another reader. It is a visual deterrent rather than a security control — for a document that must not be opened at all, password protect it instead.
How to use the PDF Watermark Tool
- Upload the PDF. Drag the document you want to stamp onto the drop zone.
- Enter the watermark text. Type the wording, such as DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL or a recipient name.
- Adjust opacity and position. Set how strong the mark is and where it sits so it does not hide important content.
- Download the stamped PDF. Run the tool and save the watermarked copy.

Frequently asked questions
How do I add a watermark to a PDF?
Upload the file, type your watermark text, set the opacity and position, then download the stamped copy.
Is the watermark applied to every page?
Yes. The text is drawn on all pages of the document in the position you choose.
Can the watermark be removed afterwards?
Not easily. It is drawn into the page content rather than added as a separate layer, so it survives printing and reopening.
What opacity should I use?
Around 20-30% keeps the page readable with the mark clearly visible. Higher values make the stamp dominate the page.
Can I use an image as the watermark?
This tool applies text watermarks. For a logo, place it in the source document before exporting to PDF.
