Best For

Marking a document as DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, or attributing it to your name or business before sharing.

Common Uses

•Marking a draft contract before it’s finalized
•Stamping CONFIDENTIAL on internal documents before sending externally
•Branding a proposal or report with a company name across every page
•Discouraging unauthorized reuse of a shared PDF

💡 Pro Tip

A lower-opacity, diagonal watermark is legible without obscuring the underlying text — a full-opacity watermark straight across the page can make a document hard to read.

📖Watermark PDF Guide

Adds a custom text watermark to every page of a PDF — CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, your name, or any custom text.

When to use this

Use this to mark a document's status or ownership across every page — flagging a draft before final review, marking a document confidential, or simply branding it with your name or company.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. 1Upload your PDF A live preview shows the watermark on page 1 as you set it up.
  2. 2Choose your text Pick from 6 common presets or type custom text, up to 60 characters.
  3. 3Style and position it Set size, opacity, color, and rotation, then click or drag on the preview to position it.
  4. 4Choose which pages get it Apply to all pages, just the first page, or a specific range like "1,3,5-8".
  5. 5Download Your watermarked PDF downloads with the design applied to your chosen pages.

Tips for best results

  • ✓The live preview always shows page 1, even if you've chosen a different page range — check the downloaded file if you're applying to specific pages other than the first, since you won't see a live preview of those exact pages beforehand.
  • ✓Lower opacity (semi-transparent) keeps the underlying content readable while still clearly marking the document.
  • ✓A diagonal rotation (around 45°) is the classic watermark look and tends to read clearly without covering too much text.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • ⚠Setting a page range other than "all" or "first only" and assuming the preview reflects those specific pages — the live preview always shows page 1 regardless of your page-range choice.
  • ⚠Using full opacity on a busy document, making the underlying text hard to read underneath the watermark.
  • ⚠Writing custom text longer than 60 characters, which won't fit — keep it concise.
