About Add watermark

A watermark is text laid over each page to mark a document as a draft, confidential or a copy. Adding one makes it clear how a file should be treated when it is shared.

Type your stamp text, pick a colour, the angle and how visible it should be, and the tool applies it to the pages. A lower visibility keeps the text beneath readable.

Tips

  • A visibility of 20-40% keeps the page readable while the stamp stays visible.
  • A 45° angle across the page is the traditional look; choose Straight for a header-style mark.
  • A watermark is a visual mark and is not meant as a security measure.

Frequently asked questions

Can I change the colour?

Yes. Use the colour picker to choose any colour for the stamp text.

Can the watermark be removed?

It is added to the page, but it is a visual mark and not a form of protection. Use Protect PDF if you need a password.

Are my files uploaded?

Do I need an account?
