Stamp a watermark across your PDF pages

The watermark PDF tool puts your text or your logo onto every page of a document. Write something like Draft, Confidential or your company name, or upload an image, then set the size, the angle, the colour and how see through it should be.

A watermark tells anyone holding the file where it came from and what it is for. It marks a draft so nobody treats it as final, it puts your name on work you are sharing, and it makes a copied page easy to trace back.

What this watermark tool gives you

Text or image
Type a word, or upload a logo and use that as the stamp instead.
Adjustable transparency
Make it faint enough to read through, or bold enough to be unmissable.
Any angle
Lay it flat or turn it diagonally across the page, whichever suits.
Choose the position
Centre it, or tuck it into a corner where it stays out of the way.
Size and colour
Match your brand colour and pick a size that fits the page.
Applied to every page
One setup marks the whole document, however many pages it has.
