Watermark PDF
Add a text watermark across every PDF page.
How to watermark a PDF
Choose a PDF, enter your watermark text, adjust the available appearance settings, apply it and review the result before downloading.
Choosing useful watermark text
Common labels include Draft, Confidential, Sample, Copy or an owner name. Keep the watermark visible enough to communicate its purpose without making the underlying document difficult to read.
Watermarks are visual labels
A watermark can discourage casual reuse or communicate status, but it is not the same as encryption, password protection or access control. Do not rely on a watermark alone to secure sensitive data.
Placement and readability
Check pages with dark backgrounds, images or dense text. A watermark that looks good on one page may be harder to read on another.
Common uses
Watermark PDFs for drafts, internal review copies, sample documents, ownership labels or documents that should not be mistaken for a final version.
Privacy
Supported watermark processing is performed locally in the browser.
