About This Tool

This tool applies a visible watermark to PDF documents by overlaying a watermark layer on each page. It supports text-based watermarks or image-based marks, with adjustable position, opacity, and size. The user uploads a PDF, selects watermark style, and the system generates a new PDF in which every page contains the watermark. Conceptually, the watermark is a non-destructive overlay that does not modify existing content, only adds a repeated visual layer. Beneficiaries include authors who want to indicate drafts, publishers protecting proprietary materials, educators sharing course packets, and sales teams distributing brochures. Unique value comes from a server-side, no-install workflow that preserves document integrity while providing batch-ready processing and predictable output formatting. Core features include per-page control (apply to all pages or a range), opacity and scale tuning, and a simple output format that remains fully compliant with PDF readers. Typical use cases cover pre-distribution proofs, report sharing, and marketing collateral that must carry ownership marks.

How to Use

  1. Upload the PDF file and select watermark style.
  2. Set position, opacity, and scale for text or image watermark.
  3. Choose page range or apply to all pages, then run the operation.
  4. Download the watermarked PDF for distribution or archiving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

Can I watermark by text or image?
Yes, the tool supports both text and image watermarks. Text watermarks adjust font size automatically based on page width, while image watermarks scale to the selected percentage.
Does watermarking affect file quality?
Watermarks are overlaid as a visual layer and do not modify underlying content; some file size increase is expected due to the overlay, but no content loss occurs.
Can I apply to all pages?
By default, the watermark is applied to all pages. You can specify a page range to limit application, such as pages 1–3 in a multi-page document.
What formats are supported?
Input must be PDF; output is a PDF as well. Other formats are not supported by this tool.
