Watermark PDF

Watermark PDF applies text or image watermarks across all or selected pages of your PDF. Customize the text, font size, color, opacity, rotation angle, and position to create "DRAFT", "CONFIDENTIAL", or branded watermarks. The watermark is embedded into the PDF content, not just a visual overlay. Watermark PDF sits in FilePilot's pdf tools collection, so it is easy to move between this task and nearby tools such as Free Online PDF Tools, Free Online Image Tools, Merge PDFs. It is useful when you need to mark draft documents as "draft" before circulating for review; add "confidential" stamps to sensitive internal reports; apply company branding or logos across all pages; protect creative work with a visible copyright watermark. The workflow is straightforward: upload the pdf you want to watermark; configure the watermark text or upload an image, then adjust opacity, size, and position; click "apply & download" to save the watermarked pdf. The work happens locally in your browser using client-side processing, which keeps your files on your device and gives crawlers a clear plain-text description of what this page does before the interactive app loads.

How it works

  1. Upload the PDF you want to watermark.
  2. Configure the watermark text or upload an image, then adjust opacity, size, and position.
  3. Click "Apply & Download" to save the watermarked PDF.
