Add a watermark to a PDF online
Protect your documents by adding a watermark to every page. Choose the text, font, size, opacity, rotation, and layout, then export the updated PDF.
Use watermarks for confidentiality notices, drafts, branding, or to discourage unauthorized sharing. The live preview helps you fine-tune the result before processing.
After watermarking, you can add page numbers, compress the PDF, or protect it with a password depending on your workflow.
FAQ
Can I choose between a single watermark and a tiled watermark?
Yes. Select “tiled” to repeat the watermark across the page or “single” for one central watermark.
How do I make the watermark more subtle?
Lower the opacity and reduce the font size. A small tilt often looks cleaner.
Will the watermark appear on every page?
Yes. The watermark is applied consistently across all pages of the output PDF.
Does watermarking change the original file?
No. You download a new watermarked PDF. Your original file remains unchanged on your device.
Can I remove a watermark later?
If the watermark is burned into the PDF content, removing it may not be possible. Keep an unwatermarked original if you might need it.
What watermark text should I use for sensitive documents?
Common options are “Confidential”, “Internal Use Only”, “Draft”, or your company name and date.
