Add a text watermark to a PDF online, free — CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, your company name or anything else. Choose one stamp or a repeated pattern, the angle, size, colour and transparency. It runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
One stamp or a full pattern
Place a single large watermark across the middle of each page, or repeat it across the whole page so it cannot simply be cropped out. Choose diagonal or level text, its size, colour and how transparent it is.
Private by design
Documents you watermark are usually the sensitive ones. This runs entirely in your browser, so the PDF is never uploaded anywhere.

When to use Watermark PDF
- Marking drafts so nobody mistakes them for the final version.
- Stamping CONFIDENTIAL or a recipient’s name on documents you share.
- Branding proofs and samples before sending them to a client.
Tips
- Around 20–30% opacity keeps the page readable while the watermark stays obvious.
- Repeated across the page is much harder to remove than a single stamp.
