Add a watermark to a PDF
Put text such as DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL, or your logo, across every page. Set the size, angle and see-through level.
Open in Document Studio Keep your edits between steps, with undo.
Free to use, with no sign-up. Works on your phone, tablet or computer.
How it works
- Choose a PDF.
- Type the text, or choose a picture.
- Set size, angle and opacity, then add and download.
The watermark is drawn on top of the page, made see-through so the page stays readable. Anyone can still edit or remove it with PDF editing software, so it discourages copying but does not prevent it.
When to use it
- Mark a document DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL or SAMPLE across every page.
- Put a company logo on each page of a PDF.
- Show who a copy was prepared for before you send it.
