About Watermark

Adding a watermark can help identify documents, indicate ownership, or show information such as Confidential, Draft, or a company name. Our watermark PDF tool makes it easy to add a watermark to PDF files without complicated editing software. Upload your document, enter your watermark text, choose its position, and apply it to the selected pages. You can put a watermark on PDF pages for documents that need an additional visual identifier, and the tool works as a PDF watermark adder without rebuilding your document from scratch.

How to watermark

  1. 1Upload your PDF document.
  2. 2Enter your watermark text.
  3. 3Choose the position and appearance.
  4. 4Apply the watermark to the selected pages.
  5. 5Download the watermarked PDF.

Supported file types

One PDF file (.pdf) plus the text you want stamped on it.

You get back: A watermarked PDF with your text at the chosen size, opacity, angle and position.

Good to know before you start

  • The stamp sits on top of the page and can be removed by anyone with a PDF editor — it is a label, not security.
  • Standard Latin characters are supported; unusual scripts may fall back to a default font.
  • A password-protected PDF has to be opened with Unlock PDF first; encrypted files cannot be read directly.

Why use this tool

Watermark PDF documents

Watermark PDF document files before sharing them with customers, employees, or clients, and insert a watermark in PDF files to make the document's status or ownership clear.

Add stamp to PDF

A watermark does not have to be plain text — you can add a stamp to PDF documents for purposes such as Draft, Approved, Reviewed, or Confidential.

Edit watermark in PDF

If your PDF needs a different watermark, you can edit the watermark in the PDF by adjusting its text, position, appearance, or settings before generating the final file.
