How to watermark a PDF

Add a text or image watermark to every page of your PDF — useful for marking documents as "Draft," "Confidential," or "Sample," or for adding your logo across a document before sharing it externally. Choose your watermark text or upload an image, adjust the position, opacity, and size, and apply it across the whole document at once.

This is a common step for freelancers sending sample work, businesses marking internal documents, or anyone who wants to discourage unauthorized reuse of a shared PDF. The watermark is applied to every page consistently, and the rest of the document's content and formatting stays untouched.

Files are encrypted in transit and automatically deleted within 12 hours — no account or sign-up required to use the tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I watermark with my name or company name?
Yes. Enter any text — a name, brand, or notice like CONFIDENTIAL.
Can I make the watermark subtle?
Yes. Choose 10% or 25% opacity for a light mark that doesn't obscure content.
Does the watermark cover my content?
Only if you choose a dark opacity. Light settings keep content fully readable.
