Why Add Watermarks to PDFs?
Watermarking PDFs is a common practice for protecting intellectual property, branding documents, and indicating document status. Whether you're marking a document as "Confidential", "Draft", "Sample", or adding your company logo, watermarks provide a clear visual indicator.
Common use cases include marking legal contracts as drafts, branding proposals with your company logo, adding "Confidential" stamps to sensitive documents, and watermarking sample documents to prevent unauthorized use.
Our free tool makes it easy to add professional text or image watermarks without installing any software. Everything runs in your browser for maximum privacy and convenience.

PDF Watermark FAQs
Common questions about adding watermarks to PDFs
Is this tool free?
Yes, our watermark tool is completely free with no limitations. Add watermarks to as many PDFs as you need without signing up.
Is my PDF secure?
Absolutely. All processing happens directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your PDF is never uploaded to our servers or any third party.
What image formats are supported for watermarks?
You can upload PNG, JPG/JPEG, SVG, and WebP images as watermarks. PNG images with transparency work best for logo watermarks.
What does the "Repeat" pattern do?
The repeat pattern tiles your watermark across the entire page in a grid, which is commonly used for "Confidential" or "Draft" stamps to make the watermark impossible to crop out.
Will the watermark affect the PDF quality?
No. The watermark is added as a transparent overlay. The original content of your PDF remains completely unchanged.
Can I remove the watermark later?
The watermark is embedded into the PDF. To get the original version, keep a copy of the file before watermarking.
Can I watermark only specific pages?
Yes! You can apply the watermark to all pages, the first page only, odd pages only, or even pages only.
