Why use Watermark PDF?

Watermarks protect documents from misuse and clearly mark drafts, confidential reports or copyrighted material. Adding one in your browser is faster than opening Acrobat — and free. Customise the text, opacity and rotation to match your brand or context.

How it works

Upload your PDF — Drop the file you want to watermark.
Customise the watermark — Change text, font size, opacity and rotation.
Download — Every page receives the watermark and the file downloads instantly.

Tips & best practices

Use 20–30% opacity so the document stays readable.
Rotate by -30° or -45° for a classic diagonal watermark.
Keep watermark text short — "DRAFT", "CONFIDENTIAL" or your company name work best.
