Watermarks discourage unauthorised sharing and make the status of a document obvious. This tool writes a diagonal text watermark onto each page with adjustable opacity.

How to watermark a PDF

  1. Upload the PDF.
  2. Type the watermark text - for example CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT or your company name.
  3. Pick an opacity, convert and download.

Good practice

  • Use 20-40% opacity so the underlying text stays readable.
  • Keep the watermark short for a clean look.
  • Combine with encryption when the document is sensitive.

Frequently asked questions

Can the watermark be removed?

It is written into the page content, so removing it is not trivial - but no watermark is truly tamper-proof.

Can I watermark only some pages?

This version applies the watermark to every page.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

Yes, the watermark is layered on top of the page image.
