Mark PDF

Add Watermark to PDF Free

Use Add Watermark before sharing drafts, sample files, internal documents, invoices, proposals, client previews, or branded PDFs.

Choose a text watermark or image watermark, then adjust the mark so it communicates status or ownership without covering important content.

What this tool helps with

  • Add text watermarks
  • Add image watermarks
  • Adjust opacity, size, rotation, and position
  • Apply watermarks to PDF pages

Supported formats

  • Input: PDF files supported by the browser PDF workflow.

Best for

  • Draft and sample labels
  • Confidential or internal-use marks
  • Paid, reviewed, or approved status labels
  • Light brand marks on client previews

Limits to know

  • A watermark is a visible layer, not strong security or redaction.
  • Someone with PDF editing tools may be able to alter or remove visible marks.
  • Use password protection or access controls when the file itself needs stronger protection.

How it works

  1. Open the Add Watermark workspace.
  2. Add the PDF that needs a visible mark.
  3. Choose text or image watermark mode and adjust opacity, size, rotation, and placement.
  4. Download the watermarked PDF copy and keep the original unchanged.

Common questions

Can I add a logo watermark?

Yes. Use image watermark mode for logos, seals, or brand marks where supported.

Is a watermark the same as redaction?

No. A watermark is visible text or image content. It does not permanently remove hidden information underneath.

Can I apply a watermark to every page?

The watermark workflow is designed for selected pages and repeated page marking where supported by the tool controls.
