When to use Add Watermark to PDF
Use this to mark drafts as "Confidential" or "Draft," brand a document with a logo watermark, or discourage unauthorized redistribution of a shared copy. It marks the visible page only — it is not a copy-protection or DRM mechanism.
How to Add a Watermark to a PDF
- Select a PDF.
- Add a text or image watermark.
- Adjust position, rotation, size, and opacity.
- Choose the pages to apply it to, then preview and export.
What this tool changes
- Stamps a repeating or single watermark on the selected pages.
What it preserves
- Existing page content — the watermark is layered in front of or behind it.
Good to know
- Extremely dense existing page content can make a low-opacity watermark harder to see, and vice versa.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I watermark only some pages?
- Yes, apply it to selected pages, a range, or the whole document.
- Can I use my own logo as the watermark?
- Yes — upload a PNG or JPG image and position it like a text watermark, including rotation and opacity.
- Does the watermark stop someone from copying the file?
- No. A watermark is a visible mark, not access control — pair it with Protect PDF if you also need a password.
