A watermark marks a document as a draft, confidential, or belonging to a particular brand, without needing to explain that in an email every time you send it. This tool stamps a text or image watermark across every page of your PDF.
You control the wording or image, its opacity, size, rotation and position, so the watermark is visible enough to matter but doesn't obscure the underlying content.

Businesses add a company logo watermark to official documents before distributing them externally, and legal teams mark sensitive drafts as 'Confidential' before sharing them for review.
A quick tip
For a subtle brand watermark you want visible but not distracting, keep opacity low — around 10–15% — and angle the text diagonally so it doesn't compete directly with the page's normal text.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use my own logo as the watermark instead of text?

Can I control how visible the watermark is?
Yes, opacity is adjustable from very subtle to bold and solid.
Will the watermark appear on every page?
Yes, by default it's applied consistently across all pages, though you can choose to skip specific pages.
Can I remove a watermark I've added later?
If you keep your original unwatermarked file, you can always start fresh from that copy — watermarking here doesn't overwrite your original.
