Everything you need to watermark a PDF

100% private — nothing uploaded

Watermarking happens locally in your browser using pdf-lib. Nothing is sent to a server.

Text or logo image

Stamp a text watermark or upload your own PNG/JPG logo.

Single placement or diagonal tile

Place it once with a 9-point position grid, or repeat it across the whole page so it can't be cropped out.

Full control over opacity and rotation

Dial in exactly how visible the watermark is and the angle it sits at.

Text stays selectable

The watermark is a vector overlay, not a rasterize — your PDF's original text stays selectable and searchable.

Instant processing

No waiting for uploads. Every page is watermarked in seconds, even for long documents.

Three steps to a watermarked PDF

  1. 1

    Upload your PDF

    Drag and drop your PDF onto the page, or click to browse.

  2. 2

    Choose your watermark

    Type a text watermark or upload a logo image, then set opacity, rotation, and position — or tile it diagonally across every page.

  3. 3

    Add watermark and download

    Click Add watermark — your browser stamps every page instantly. Download it, nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Is this tool free?

+

Yes, completely free with no limits. Watermark as many PDFs as you want — no account required.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

+

No. Everything happens in your browser using pdf-lib. Your file and your watermark image never leave your device.

Does watermarking turn my PDF into an image?

+

No. The watermark is drawn as a vector overlay on top of the page — the document's original text stays selectable and searchable, it isn't rasterized.

Can I use my own logo as the watermark?

+

Yes. Upload a PNG or JPG — a PNG with a transparent background gives the cleanest result.

Can I apply the watermark to only some pages?

+

Yes. Choose a page range instead of the default "all pages" before you generate the file.

What does "tile" mode do?

+

It repeats the watermark in a diagonal grid across the entire page instead of placing it once, so it can't be cropped out.

Can I control how visible the watermark is?

+

Yes. The opacity slider goes from faint (10%) to fully solid (100%), and rotation is fully adjustable.
