The core task does not require an account.

What is a PDF watermark tool?

PDF Watermark is a browser-based tool that lets you add text or image watermarks to every page. Choose PDF, use the controls above to configure the result, then download or use the resulting PDF. The core workflow runs locally in your browser without an application document-processing request. See formats, limits, and processing.

A PDF watermark tool stamps a visible mark — text such as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "DRAFT", or an image such as a company logo — across every page of a PDF. The watermark is embedded directly into the page content, making it visible to all readers and deterring unauthorised distribution or copying.

Watermarks serve two main purposes: branding and document control. Branded proposals sent to clients carry your logo on every page. Internal drafts marked "DRAFT" or "NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION" signal their status clearly. EditPDF AI applies watermarks entirely in your browser, so the document never needs to be uploaded.

Practical examples

Common ways people use this tool in real documents and day-to-day workflows.

Creative & design professionals

Add a logo or "SAMPLE" watermark to proof copies of artwork, photography, or design work shared with clients before final payment.

Legal & compliance teams

Mark documents as "CONFIDENTIAL", "PRIVILEGED", or "DRAFT" before circulating them internally or to external parties.

Publishing & content teams

Watermark advance reader copies of books, reports, or white papers before distributing to reviewers.

Businesses & agencies

Brand every page of a proposal or report with a company logo so recipients always know the document's origin.

Compare the workflows
Doing it manually

Open each page in an image editor and stamp a logo or "DRAFT" mark one at a time.

With PDF Watermark

Apply text or a logo image to every page at once.

Doing it manually

Guess at opacity and rotation until a sample page looks right.

With PDF Watermark

Preview and adjust opacity, size, and rotation before applying it to the whole document.

Doing it manually

Re-export the whole PDF through another app just to brand it.

With PDF Watermark

Apply the watermark directly in the browser and download immediately.

Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

Can I add a watermark to every page at once?
Yes. The watermark is applied to all pages simultaneously. There is no need to repeat it per page.
Can I use my company logo as a watermark?
Yes. Upload a PNG or JPG image and it will be used as the watermark instead of text. Transparent PNG files work best.
Is the watermark permanent?
The downloaded copy embeds the watermark in PDF page content. PDF editing software may still be able to alter it, so a watermark should not be treated as access control or secure redaction.
Can I control the opacity?
Yes. The opacity slider lets you set the watermark from fully transparent to fully opaque, so it can be subtle or prominent.
Will the watermark affect text in the PDF?
No. The watermark is added as a new layer. The original text and images remain selectable and searchable.
Can I position the watermark anywhere on the page?
Yes. Adjust the watermark position along with size, rotation, and opacity before applying it to every page.
