Watermark PDF

Runs in your browser — your files are never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Will the watermark appear when the PDF is printed?+

Yes — it’s stamped into each page as part of the document, so it shows both on screen and in print. That’s what makes it useful for marking a copy as DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL.

Can I control how visible the watermark is?+

Yes — the opacity slider (5–100%) controls how strongly the watermark shows over the page content.

Can I remove a watermark added this way?+

Not with this tool — it only adds a watermark. Removing a watermark that’s baked into page content generally isn’t possible without the original, unwatermarked file.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?+

No. Watermarking runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
