About Watermark PDF

Add a diagonal text watermark to all or specific pages in a PDF. Customize the text, opacity, rotation, color, and font size. Common uses include marking documents as CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, or SAMPLE.

How It Works

The tool uses pdf-lib to draw semi-transparent text across each page. The watermark is rendered as an overlay — existing content is not modified. You can control opacity to make the watermark subtle or prominent.

Step by Step

  1. 1 Upload a PDF file
  2. 2 Enter watermark text (e.g. CONFIDENTIAL)
  3. 3 Adjust opacity, color, and rotation
  4. 4 Optionally specify which pages to watermark
  5. 5 Click Watermark and download the result

Tips

  • 30% opacity works well for most documents — visible but not distracting.
  • Use -45° rotation for classic diagonal watermarks.
  • Gray color is the most professional choice for business documents.
  • Leave pages empty to watermark every page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I remove a watermark added by this tool?
No. The watermark is permanently drawn on the PDF pages. Keep your original file if you may need the unwatermarked version.
Can I use custom fonts?
The watermark uses Helvetica, which is built into pdf-lib and available in all PDF viewers.
