Private by design — no upload

Most free online tools do this by uploading your file to their servers. This one doesn’t: it runs entirely in your browser, and the page ships with a strict security policy that blocks every outbound network request, so your file physically cannot leave your device. No account, no email, no upload, no watermark.

Text or image, your way

Add text (with a choice of colour) or upload a PNG/JPG logo. Control the position — diagonal, centred, tiled, top, or bottom — plus the opacity and size, so the watermark is visible without hiding your content. It’s applied to every page.

Good to know

Text watermarks use a standard PDF font. There are no watermarks from us on the output (the only watermark is the one you add), no limits, and everything runs offline once the page loads.

Add a watermark to a PDF — FAQ

Is my PDF uploaded to watermark it?

Can I use my own logo as a watermark?

Yes. Upload a PNG or JPG image and position it with the opacity and size you want.

Can I control where the watermark appears?

Yes — diagonal, centred, tiled, top, or bottom, with adjustable opacity and size.

Does the tool add its own watermark?

No. The only watermark on the output is the one you choose to add.
