About the Watermark PDF
The Watermark PDF tool stamps text across every page of a PDF — for example "DRAFT", "CONFIDENTIAL", or your name — to label, protect, or brand the document. The overlay appears on each page so the marking travels with the file wherever it goes.
Watermarks communicate status and ownership at a glance. Marking a document as a draft prevents confusion over versions, "confidential" discourages careless sharing, and a name or company label asserts ownership of reports and proposals before you distribute them.
The watermark is applied in your browser, so the PDF never leaves your device. That makes it safe for sensitive contracts and internal documents, and means there is no upload, no account, and no third-party access to your files.

Frequently asked questions
Does the watermark appear on every page?
Yes. The text overlay is applied across all pages so the marking is consistent throughout the document.
Can I control how visible the watermark is?
Yes. You can adjust styling such as opacity and size so the watermark is clear without making the underlying text unreadable.
Can the watermark be removed later?
Once applied and saved, the watermark becomes part of the page content. Keep an unwatermarked copy of the original if you may need a clean version later.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The watermark is added entirely in your browser, so the document never leaves your computer.
Can I add an image watermark instead of text?
This tool focuses on text overlays. For image watermarks on photos, the Watermark Adder handles image-based marks.
