Add a watermark to a PDF
Mark a document as a draft, a copy or confidential before you share it.
Or drop a PDF here. Files stay on this device. Nothing is uploaded.
Type the watermark text, then adjust its size, angle, colour and opacity until it is visible without hiding the content beneath it.
How to add a watermark to a PDF
- Open the PDF.
- Choose Add watermark and type your text, for example DRAFT.
- Set the size, angle, colour and opacity.
- Apply the watermark and select Download.
What you get
Adjust how it looks
Control the size, rotation, colour and transparency of the watermark text.
Applied across the document
Add the same mark to the pages of the document in one step instead of page by page.
Only the watermark you choose
The editor never adds its own branding to your file.
Watermark PDF: questions and answers
Can I make the watermark semi-transparent?
Yes. Lower the opacity so the text behind the watermark stays readable.
Does this tool add its own watermark?
No. The only watermark on your PDF is the one you add.
Can I undo a watermark?
Yes, while the document is still open in the editor you can undo it. Keep a copy of the original if you may need an unmarked version later.
