Watermark PDF: Add Text or Image Watermarks to Documents

Add text or image watermarks to PDF pages. Perfect for branding documents, marking drafts, or protecting intellectual property.

What It Does

The Watermark PDF tool overlays text or image watermarks on every page of a PDF document. You can customize the text, font size, color, opacity, rotation angle, and position. Image watermarks can be uploaded and sized to your preference.

How to Use It

Upload a PDF file. Choose between text or image watermark. For text, enter your watermark text and customize font size, color, opacity, and angle. For images, upload your watermark image and set the size and position. Preview and download the watermarked PDF.

Tips & Tricks

Use diagonal text at 45 degrees for classic draft or confidential watermarks. Set opacity between 20-40% so the watermark is visible without obscuring the content. Place watermarks over important content areas so they cannot be easily removed by cropping.

Use Cases

Law firms mark document drafts as confidential or draft before final review. Publishers add copyright watermarks to preview copies of manuscripts. Businesses brand internal documents with company logos and identifiers.
