  2. 2

    Type your watermark text

    Enter the text you want stamped across every page.

  3. 3

    Choose how faint or bold the watermark appears over your content.

    Your watermarked PDF downloads immediately — nothing is uploaded first.

Why use this tool

Nothing leaves your device

The watermark is drawn locally via WebAssembly — your document is never uploaded.

Every page, automatically

No need to stamp pages one at a time — it applies to the whole document at once.

Control the opacity

Keep the watermark subtle or make it bold, depending on how it's used.

Common use cases

Mark confidential documents

Stamp "CONFIDENTIAL" across a draft before sharing it internally.

Label a draft

Add "DRAFT" so no one mistakes a work-in-progress for the final version.

Claim ownership

Add your name or company across sample work before sending it to a client.

Pro tips

  • Lower opacity (10-20%) keeps content readable underneath a watermark.
  • Short text reads more clearly at a diagonal than long sentences.
  • Flatten PDF afterward if you need to make sure the watermark can't be removed by editing form layers.
