How it works
Choose your PDF or drop it on the box above.
Write the text of the watermark.
Choose whether it goes once in the center or tiled over the whole page, and check it on the page preview.
Choose the size, the angle, the color and the opacity, and the pages if not all of them.
Press Convert and download the PDF with the watermark.
Only some pages
Write the pages to mark, such as 1-3, 5. Leave it empty to mark them all.
Sharp and light
The watermark is written as text over each page, so it stays sharp at any zoom and barely adds to the size of the file. Nothing else of the PDF changes.
Frequently asked questions
Can someone remove the watermark?
Yes, with a PDF editor. The watermark is text on top of the page: it marks the document, but it does not protect it. To stop changes, protect the PDF with a password after adding it.
Can I mark only some pages?
Yes. Write them as ranges, such as 1-3, 5. Leave the field empty to mark every page.
Which characters can the text have?
Letters, numbers and symbols of Latin, Greek and Cyrillic scripts, up to 100 characters in one line. Emojis and Chinese, Japanese or Korean characters cannot be written.
Does the watermark cover form fields and comments?
No. Form fields and comments are drawn on top of the page, so they stay above the watermark.
Does it keep digital signatures?
No. Adding the watermark changes the document, so any digital signature it had is no longer valid. Add the watermark first and sign the result.
Can I add a watermark to a PDF protected with a password?
No. Remove the password first and upload the unprotected copy.
