How to watermark a PDF

  1. Select the PDF.
  2. Type the watermark text (up to 100 characters).
  3. Choose position, horizontal or diagonal, size, colour, boldness and transparency (light, medium or strong).
  4. Choose all pages or selected pages, check the preview and download the PDF.

Key features

  • Nine positions, horizontal or diagonal.
  • Real transparency, so the page underneath stays readable.
  • Automatically sized to fit the page.

Supported files and limits

  • A watermark is visible content, not protection: it can be removed with PDF editing software.
  • Western European characters only.
  • Protected PDFs need to be unlocked first.

How your files are handled

Watermark PDF runs in your browser: your file is read and processed on your device and the result is created there, so documents aren't uploaded to a server. The site only counts anonymous page views, without cookies. How it works · Privacy
