Watermark a PDF: step by step

Stamp a text or image watermark on every page of your PDF. Control position, size and opacity. Free online tool.

  1. 1

    Upload your PDF

    Drop in a document and the watermark editor opens with a sample mark already on page 1. Three ways to start: Add Text writes a watermark, Add Image places your logo or a stamp, and Templates brings back a setup you saved before. Files are deleted after 2 hours.

    Make it yours

    Click the mark on the page to type your own words right in place, or write in the Watermark text box — one text per line makes a version for each, for batch runs. The strip on the mark adjusts Opacity, Color, Recenter and Font; the panel sets Location on page (Centered, or Custom with edge distances), Rotation, and Style — font, size and colour.

    Pick pages and apply

    Leave it on every page, or name ranges like 2-3,5 — perfect for stamping “Draft” on one section. Preview page flips the editor to the sheet you want to check. Press Watermark PDF and the stamped file comes back ready to download; Save settings remembers the whole setup for next time.

  • Type it in place

    Click the mark and type — you edit the watermark right on the page.

  • Text or image

    Write a word, or place a logo or stamp picture as the watermark.

  • Any colour, any fade

    Pick from the palette or paste a hex, and set the opacity from 1 to 100.

  • Rotate freely

    0–360° — the classic diagonal, or any angle your stamp needs.

  • Saved templates

    Set the watermark up once, name it, and reuse it on any document in one click.

  • Private by default

    No account, no watermark — and every file is automatically deleted after 2 hours.

What the other tools do

Grayscale

Converts colour pages to grayscale or pure black for printing, with separate choices for text and images and an option to compress the images on the way through.

Header & Footer

Adds one line of text to a header or footer position on every page, with tokens such as [PAGE_ARABIC], [PAGE_ROMAN] and [TOTAL_PAGES] so the same line numbers itself per page.

Bates Numbering

Applies Bates stamps across one document or a batch of up to 50, with a fixed digit count and separate counters for the file and the page. The sequence continues across files, which is what makes it usable for discovery sets.

Extract Images

Pulls the images out of a PDF as separate files, or renders whole pages as images at a resolution you choose. JPG and PNG are available, and the batch arrives as a ZIP.
