A practical guide

How to use Watermark PDF

  1. Choose a PDF and select the pages to mark.

  2. Enter watermark text and adjust its appearance and placement.

  3. Apply the watermark and review the resulting pages.

Text overlays on selected pages

A watermark is drawn over the existing page content. You can adjust its text, color, size, opacity, rotation and placement. It does not remove or replace information already in the PDF, so it should not be used to conceal sensitive content.

Processing and limits

Processing stays in your browser. PDFs can be up to 100 MB and 2,000 pages. Password-protected PDFs are not supported.

Frequently asked questions

Can a watermark hide information underneath?

No. A watermark is placed over the page but does not remove the original content. Do not use it to cover confidential information.
