Watermark PDF
Stamp diagonal text across every page of a PDF, for example to mark a copy of your documents as for a single use.

How to use
- Click the upload box and choose a PDF.
- Type the watermark text (up to 40 characters).
- Click “Add watermark & download”.
What to expect
- Each file can be up to 15 MB.
- The text is drawn diagonally across the middle of every page in semi-transparent grey. Its position, colour and size are fixed.
- The result is rebuilt from page images, so text inside the original PDF will not be selectable or searchable.
- This tool loads the open-source pdf.js reader from a public CDN the first time it is used; that fetches the reader code, not your file.
Common questions
Can I change the colour, size or position of the watermark?
No. The text is always grey, semi-transparent and diagonal across the centre of each page.
Can the watermark be removed afterwards?
It is drawn into the page images, so it cannot be switched off like a layer. Keep your original file if you may need a clean copy.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. Your file is processed by your browser; only the pdf.js reader code is downloaded.
