Add custom text watermarks to your PDF documents. Mark files as DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, SAMPLE, or any text you choose. Customizable size, opacity, and angle.
Why Add Watermarks to PDFs?
Watermarks are an essential tool for protecting document ownership, clearly marking draft versions to prevent premature distribution, indicating confidentiality levels on sensitive files, and deterring unauthorized copying or redistribution. They provide a visible layer of document status information while keeping the underlying content fully readable.
Common professional uses include stamping documents as DRAFT before they receive final approval from stakeholders, adding CONFIDENTIAL to sensitive internal reports and financial statements, branding proposal documents with your company name for professional presentation, and adding SAMPLE labels to preview copies of contracts, eBooks, or marketing materials.
