This tool runs in your browser. Your file is not uploaded to process it.

  • Text watermarks only on this page; image logos use the workspace.
  • Opacity and angle use sensible defaults for readability under content.
  • Watermarks are flattened on export and cannot be toggled off afterward.

FAQ

Does the watermark appear on every page?
Yes. The watermark is applied across all pages in the document when you export.
Can I use my company name?
Enter any custom text in the watermark field — for example your company name, project code, or status label.
Will a watermark stop copying?
Watermarks deter casual sharing but are not a security control. Combine with Protect PDF for password encryption.
