Your file stays in your browser and is never uploaded.

The watermark is drawn onto every page in your browser using an in-browser PDF library, so nothing is uploaded. A text watermark sits on top of the page and can, like any PDF content, be removed by determined editing; it is a deterrent, not hard security.

Stamp a watermark across every page

A watermark like DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL tells everyone who sees a document how to treat it, at a glance. This tool stamps text across every page of a PDF, with control over how it looks, entirely in your browser. Your document is never uploaded, and it is free with no signup and no watermark of ours added.

How it works

  • Upload your PDF and type your watermark text.
  • Style it: adjust the opacity, size and angle until it looks right.
  • Download the watermarked file with the stamp on every page.

What a watermark is good for

Watermarks are ideal for marking status (DRAFT, FINAL), ownership (a company name) or sensitivity (CONFIDENTIAL, DO NOT COPY). A semi-transparent diagonal stamp stays readable over the content without hiding it. It is a clear visible deterrent, but like any text on a page it is not hard security: for real access control, use a password instead.

Private, with matching tools

The watermark is drawn onto every page locally using a built-in PDF library, so nothing is uploaded. If you need genuine protection rather than a visible mark, the Etoolio password-protect tool encrypts the file; and the rest of the PDF toolkit, merge, compress, page numbers and more, works the same free, in-browser way.
