Add watermark
Draw the same words across every page.
PDF tools use pdf-lib (MIT).
About this tool
A text watermark is a diagonal line of words drawn on every page — DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, a name. This tool uses Helvetica, up to 80 characters, at a fixed gray and angle. It is a visible stamp, not a forensic metadata tag.
It is also not a signature and not encryption. For an open password use Protect PDF. For a picture on the last page use Sign PDF.
pdf-lib draws the same Helvetica string on each page in the browser. 50 MB. Encrypted PDFs are not opened. Custom fonts, logos, and per-page text are not in v1.
How to watermark a PDF
- Choose the PDF you want stamped with a short line of text.
- Type the watermark (80 characters or fewer).
- Apply and download.
50 MB, 80 characters, Helvetica, one string for the whole file. Password-protected inputs refused.
FAQ
- Is the PDF uploaded to stamp it?
- No. Drawing happens in this tab.
- Can I use my own font or logo?
- Not here. Sign PDF places a PNG or JPEG on the last page if you need a mark that is a picture.
- Can someone remove it?
- A determined editor can. This is a visible overlay, not DRM.
- Does it flatten the PDF?
- It draws on top of existing pages. It does not rasterize them.
- Non-Latin text?
- Helvetica does not cover every script. Unsupported glyphs may fail or omit.
