How do I add a watermark to a PDF?

Upload your PDF, type your watermark text (e.g. CONFIDENTIAL or DRAFT), choose the position and opacity, then click Add Watermark. Your watermarked PDF is ready in seconds. No signup required.

Can I use an image as a watermark?

Yes. Select Image watermark type and upload a PNG, JPG, or SVG file. You can adjust the image size and position on the page.

Can I make the watermark semi-transparent?

Yes. Use the Opacity slider to set any transparency level from fully opaque to nearly invisible. A value of 0.3 (30%) is typical for a subtle background watermark.

Can I apply the watermark to specific pages?

Yes. Choose to apply the watermark to all pages, the first page only, the last page only, odd pages, or even pages.

Can I tile the watermark across the page?

Yes. Select the Tile position option to repeat the watermark in a grid pattern across the entire page, which is common for confidential document marking.
