How to Add a Watermark to PDF

Watermarks help protect your documents and indicate their status (draft, confidential, etc.). Our free watermark tool lets you add text watermarks with full control over appearance.

Watermark Best Practices

  • Use low opacity (0.2-0.3) for subtle watermarks that don't obscure content
  • Diagonal watermarks at -45° are the most common professional choice
  • Keep watermark text short for better readability

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my own text as a watermark?
Yes, type any text you want. Common watermarks include 'CONFIDENTIAL', 'DRAFT', 'COPY', and company names.
Can I control the watermark's transparency?
Yes, adjust the opacity from 0 (invisible) to 1 (fully opaque). A value around 0.2-0.4 works well for subtle watermarks.
Can I change the watermark's angle?
Yes, set any rotation angle. -45° is a popular diagonal watermark. Use 0° for horizontal text.
Does the watermark appear on every page?
Yes, the watermark is applied to all pages of the PDF.
Can I remove a watermark after adding it?
Watermarks are permanently embedded. To remove one, you would need to use our redact tool to cover it, though this may affect the underlying content.
