Who Needs to Watermark a PDF?

Adding a watermark protects and labels a document before it's shared β€” here are the most common situations.

πŸ“
Draft Documents

Mark a contract, report, or proposal as "DRAFT" so reviewers know it isn't final. Once approved, watermark a clean copy or send the original.

πŸ”’
Confidential Files

Stamp "CONFIDENTIAL" across internal reports, financial statements, or HR documents before emailing them, so it's clear the file shouldn't be forwarded freely.

ℒ️
Protecting Sample Work

Freelancers and agencies watermark portfolio samples or quotations with their business name so drafts aren't reused without payment.

πŸ“„
Copy Identification

Label a PDF "COPY" or "VOID" to distinguish it from the original β€” useful for invoices, receipts, or duplicate certificates.

How to Add a Watermark β€” Step by Step

1
Upload Your PDF

Click "Choose PDF File" or drag and drop. The tool reads the page count so you know the watermark will apply to every page.

2
Type Your Watermark Text

Enter any text β€” "CONFIDENTIAL", "DRAFT", your company name, or a custom label. There's no limit on what you can type.

3
Choose Position, Colour and Opacity

Place the watermark diagonally across the page, centred, or along the bottom. Lower the opacity so it doesn't obscure your content, and pick a colour that stands out without overpowering the page.

4
Download the Watermarked PDF

Everything is processed locally in your browser β€” no upload, no server. Download the finished file with the watermark applied to every page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I remove the watermark later?
Once applied, the watermark becomes permanent page content, so it cannot be stripped back out. Keep a copy of your original file if you might need an unwatermarked version later.
Will the watermark cover my document's text?
Not if you lower the opacity. A setting around 20–30% keeps the watermark visible while letting your document's text and images remain fully readable underneath.
Does the watermark apply to every page?
Yes. The same text, position, colour and opacity are applied consistently across every page of your PDF in one pass.
Can I use my own text instead of "CONFIDENTIAL"?
Yes. The text field accepts any wording up to 60 characters β€” your company name, "DRAFT", "SAMPLE", "COPY", or a custom message.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The watermark is drawn onto the PDF entirely inside your browser using JavaScript. The file is never uploaded or sent to any server.
