A watermark marks a document as yours, or as a draft, by laying text or a logo over every page. This tool applies the watermark in your browser, so the document is never uploaded to stamp it.

How to add a watermark to a PDF

    Add your PDF

  3. 3

    Apply and download

    Save the watermarked PDF, produced on your device.

Why watermark on your device

You often watermark exactly the documents you do not want floating around: drafts, proofs, confidential files. Applying it locally means the unmarked file is never uploaded.
