About the Add Watermark to PDF

Mark drafts, confidential documents or sample copies with a clear text watermark on every page. Adjust font size, opacity, color and angle, and choose a single centred stamp or a tiled pattern across the page.

Your PDF is processed in your browser with pdf-lib and never uploaded.

How to use it

  1. Open a PDF.
  2. Type the watermark text and adjust its style.
  3. Download the watermarked document.

Good to know

  • The watermark uses the built-in Helvetica font, which supports Latin characters. Other scripts are replaced with “?” and you will be warned.
  • A text watermark can be removed by someone with PDF editing tools; it is a deterrent, not protection.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add an image or logo watermark?

Use PDF Sign with an uploaded image to place a logo on every page.

Does the watermark cover the text?

It is drawn on top with transparency, so content stays readable at low opacity (15–30%).
