About PDF Watermarking

PDF watermarks are used to indicate ownership, confidentiality, or draft status of documents. Our tool places a semi-transparent text watermark diagonally across every page of your PDF — making it visible but not obstructing the content.

You can fully customize the watermark: set the text to anything from "CONFIDENTIAL" or "DRAFT" to your company name. Adjust opacity for subtle or prominent stamps. Change the angle for diagonal or horizontal placement. Pick any font size and color that suits your brand.

All processing is done server-side with pdf-lib, a high-fidelity PDF manipulation library. The resulting file is fully compliant with the PDF standard and can be opened in any PDF reader.

Will the watermark be removable?
