Add Watermark to PDF

Stamp text across every page of a PDF — for drafts, confidential copies and proofs.

To watermark a PDF, add the file and enter your text. It is stamped on every page at the opacity, size, angle and colour you choose. The watermark is drawn into the page content, so it cannot be toggled off in a viewer — but it is not a security control.

Frequently asked questions

Can the watermark be removed?

It is drawn into the page content rather than added as a removable annotation, so a viewer cannot toggle it off. A determined person with editing software can still remove it — treat this as a deterrent, not protection.
