What you should know
A watermark signals ownership or status — "Draft," "Confidential," or a logo. It is a visual deterrent, not copy protection: anyone with basic editing skills can still remove it. Think of it as a polite but visible warning.
- Text or image watermarks — type a label or upload a PNG logo with transparency.
- Opacity matters — 20–30% opacity keeps the document readable while making the mark visible.
- Place it where it cannot be cropped easily — diagonal across the page center is harder to remove than a corner stamp.

About Watermark PDF
A watermark tells readers who owns the document or what status it has: "Draft," "Confidential," or a company logo. It is a visual signal rather than a security lock, but it discourages casual sharing and helps recipients understand how to treat the file.
This tool lets you add either text or an image watermark. Text watermarks are quick and flexible; image watermarks work best with a transparent PNG logo. You can adjust opacity, angle, and position to keep the mark visible without making the document hard to read. A diagonal watermark across the page center is harder to crop out than a corner stamp.
Processing happens entirely in your browser. The original file is not uploaded anywhere, so drafts and confidential documents stay private. The watermark is added as a separate layer on each page, leaving the underlying text and images untouched.
Keep in mind that watermarking is not copy protection. Anyone with an editor can remove it. For stronger protection, consider password-protecting the PDF or using desktop software like Wondershare PDFelement. For watermarking many files at once, use Batch Watermark PDF.
