About This Tool

Free PDF watermark tool online — add custom text watermarks to every page of a PDF document. Control the watermark text, font size, color, opacity, rotation angle, and position (diagonal, centered, or corner). No server uploads, no account, entirely browser-based. Businesses use PDF watermarks to mark documents as "CONFIDENTIAL", "DRAFT", or "FOR REVIEW ONLY" before sharing with external parties. Freelancers watermark proposal PDFs with "SAMPLE" until payment is received. Legal and HR departments add "DO NOT DISTRIBUTE" to sensitive documents. The watermark is burned into the PDF pages on download.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the watermark be removed?+
The watermark is rendered into the page content. It is difficult but not impossible to remove with advanced PDF editing software. For high-security documents, consider additional protection like PDF password encryption.
Can I add an image watermark instead of text?+
The current tool supports text watermarks. For image watermarks (like a logo), use a dedicated PDF editor.
