How to watermark a PDF

  1. Add one PDF from your device.
  2. Type the watermark text and adjust size, opacity, rotation, and color.
  3. Choose a centered or tiled layout — the preview updates instantly.
  4. Add the watermark and download the result.

Why use this private PDF watermarker?

Your PDF is processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded. The live preview on page 1 shows exactly how the watermark will look before it's applied to every page in the document.

Centered vs tiled

Centered places one large, usually diagonal watermark in the middle of each page — common for DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL stamps. Tiled repeats a smaller watermark across the whole page, which is harder to crop out and works well for copyright marking.

Frequently asked questions

Are my PDF files uploaded?

No. The watermark is drawn and the PDF is created entirely in your browser.

Can I control the watermark's look?

Yes. Adjust the text, font size, opacity, rotation angle, color, and choose a centered or tiled layout.

Does the watermark apply to every page?

Yes. The same watermark settings are applied to every page in the document.

Can I watermark a password-protected PDF?

Not currently. Remove the password before using the tool.

Can I remove a watermark later?

Not with this tool. The watermark is embedded into the page content, the same way most PDF watermarking tools work.
