How to Watermark a PDF Online
Three steps between your file and a clearly marked copy.
Upload Your PDF
Click Select PDF Document or drag the file into the box. The tool tells you how many pages your document has.
Type Your Text and Pick a Style
Write anything up to 60 characters: a name, DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, a company or a date. Show it large and diagonal, tiled across the page, or small at the bottom.

Press Add Watermark & Download and the marked file saves straight to your device. Your original stays untouched.
Why Use Our Watermark Tool?

The stamp is added in your browser the moment you press the button. No queue and no waiting.

The file never leaves your device, which matters most for exactly the documents you watermark.

Three Styles for Three Jobs
A bold diagonal for drafts and confidential files, a tiled pattern for stronger protection, or a quiet footer line for everyday documents.
Popular Ways to Watermark PDF Documents
Drafts Under Review
A diagonal DRAFT across each page stops an unfinished version from being quoted as final.
Confidential Files
Internal prices, plans and reports can travel by mistake. A CONFIDENTIAL stamp makes the state of the file impossible to miss.
Your Name on Your Work
Photographers, teachers and freelancers put their name on samples and handouts so credit travels with the file.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the watermark be removed later?
It is drawn into each page like printed text, so casual copying will carry it along. No watermark is proof against a determined expert, which is why truly sensitive files should also be shared carefully.
Does the watermark hide my text?
The diagonal and tiled styles use a light grey at low opacity, designed to be read over without hiding the page. The bottom style sits in the margin like a footer.
How long can the text be?
Up to 60 characters, which fits names, company names, dates and short labels like DO NOT COPY.
Is it free, with no extra watermark from you?
Yes, and there is a small irony here: we add only the watermark you type. No signup, no branding of ours, and the file is processed locally in your browser.
