How to watermark a PDF
Step 1
Drop a PDF into the box above.
Step 2
Type your watermark text, then set its size, transparency, and whether it runs diagonally or horizontally.
Step 3
Click Add Watermark. Every page is stamped by code running in your browser tab.
Step 4
Download the watermarked PDF — nothing was uploaded at any point.
Your file never leaves your browser
Everything this tool does happens in your browser tab. The PDF is opened, processed, and rebuilt by code running on your own device — it is never uploaded, so there is no server copy, no retention policy to read, and nothing to breach. Close the tab and it is gone.
Frequently asked questions
Is this watermark tool really free?
Yes. The only watermark on your file is the one you type — we never stamp our own name on the output, and there is no account or trial to start. The tool runs in your browser tab, so it costs us nothing to keep free.
Do my PDF files get uploaded to a server?
No. Your document and your watermark text both stay on your device — the stamped PDF is built in the browser and saved locally. This page fetches its own code and reports an anonymous usage count, and neither one carries your file or the words you typed.
Can I control the watermark's size, angle, and transparency?
Those three, yes. An opacity slider takes it from a faint ghost to solid text, you pick the text size, and a toggle runs the stamp diagonally across the page or straight across horizontally. The text is always centered, and the same settings apply to every page.
Can I watermark every page at once?
That is the default. The stamp is applied to every page of the document in a single pass, however long the file is, and the placement stays consistent from the first page to the last. There is nothing to repeat page by page.
Why does my password-protected PDF fail?
Encrypted PDFs cannot be opened without the password, so there is no page for the watermark to land on. Save an unprotected copy from your PDF reader first, then stamp that one. The tool tells you what happened rather than producing an empty file.
