PDF,APPLICATION/PDF

Most “free” PDF tools aren't really free — they cap file sizes, count your jobs, or stamp a watermark on the result. This one has none of those limits: watermark up to 20 PDFs per job, as often as you like, with clean output every time.

The tool is funded entirely by optional premium plans for heavy users. For everyday watermarking, the free tier is all you need.
