How to add a watermark to a PDF

  1. Drop your PDF (or several) into the tool. The first page is shown in the live preview.
  2. Choose text or logo. Typical text watermarks are CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, SAMPLE, DO NOT COPY or a client name.
  3. Adjust it: -45° rotation and 25–40% opacity give the classic diagonal look that doesn’t hide the text underneath.
  4. Choose pages: all pages, only the first page, or a custom range such as 1-3, 8, 10-.
  5. Download the watermarked PDF, or a ZIP if you processed several documents.

PDF watermark options

  • Text or image: any text in 10 fonts, or your logo/stamp as PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG.
  • Diagonal, horizontal or any angle with free rotation.
  • Tiled pattern repeated across the whole page — the hardest to crop out.
  • Exact placement: presets, a percentage of the page, or a distance in points from any corner — handy for letterheads and stamps.
  • Keeps your PDF intact: text stays selectable, links and page sizes are preserved, including rotated pages.

Watermark Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Google files

Any document can become a watermarked PDF: export it as PDF first (File → Save as / Download → PDF), then drop it here. It’s often faster than each app’s own watermark feature and works the same for every source. See our guides for Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Google Docs and Google Slides.

Is it safe to watermark confidential PDFs online?

With WatermarkOn, yes. Your PDF is not uploaded and not stored: the watermark is drawn into the file by your own browser, and our server has no upload endpoint at all. Contracts, financial statements and unreleased documents stay on your device.

Good to know: password-protected PDFs must be unlocked before watermarking.

Frequently asked questions

How can I add a watermark to a PDF for free?
Open the tool above, drop your PDF, type your watermark text or upload a logo, choose the pages and click “Add watermark”. No account or software is needed.
How do I add a watermark to a PDF without Adobe Acrobat?
Use this page: it does what Acrobat’s Watermark tool does (text or image, opacity, rotation, page range, several files) for free in your browser. See also our Acrobat guide.
Can I watermark only some pages of a PDF?
Yes. Choose “Custom” under PDF pages and enter a range such as 1-3, 5, 9- (9- means page 9 to the end).
Does the watermark change the text of my PDF?
No. The existing content stays intact and selectable; the watermark is drawn on top of it.
Is my PDF uploaded to your server?
No. The PDF is processed locally by your browser. We never receive or store your documents.
