Drop a PDF file
Add a text or image watermark to every page
Works with any file size -- files over 50MB may just take a little longer
What is this tool?
Stamps a text or image watermark across every page of a PDF, commonly used to mark a document as a draft or confidential, or to brand it with a logo before it's shared. It's a visual signal, not a security measure -- the watermark makes the document's status or origin obvious to anyone looking at it, but doesn't prevent copying, editing, or redistribution the way password protection does.
How to use it
Upload your PDF, choose Text or Image, then set the watermark content, opacity, and position (or Tiled, to repeat it across the whole page). Download the watermarked file when it looks right.
If the goal is actually restricting access rather than labeling a document's status, pair this with PDF Password, or use that instead -- a watermark alone doesn't stop anyone from copying or editing the underlying content.
