When to Use a PDF Watermark
Mark a draft before you share it
Put DRAFT across a worksheet or an application so a reader can see it is not the final copy.
Stamp a logo on class notes
Add a short line of text, or a PNG, JPEG, or WebP, in a corner or on the pages you choose.
Keep the original file
The download is a new PDF. The file you opened is not overwritten.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The PDF and the image stay in this browser. They are not uploaded.
Does the watermark protect the PDF?
No. The watermark is a visible stamp on top of the page. The downloaded PDF is the file that matters. It does not stop someone from copying the text. A signed PDF, or one that still has a password, may not come through unchanged.
Can I use a logo?
Yes. Choose Image, then add a PNG, JPEG, or WebP from this device. A transparent PNG keeps its clear background. The image is not uploaded.
Which fonts can I use?
Helvetica, Times, and Courier, with an optional bold style. If a character is not in that font, the page tells you and does not draw a substitute.
Can I watermark only some pages?
Yes. All pages is the default. Choose Page range and enter a start and end. Page numbers start at 1, and the end page cannot be past the last page.
How large a PDF can I use?
Up to 15 MB and 200 pages. A password-protected PDF has to be unlocked before this tool can read it.
Will my original file change?
No. You download a new PDF. The file you opened stays as it was.
