How to add a text or image watermark to PDF

Upload a PDF, add watermark text or an image, then adjust its placement.

Step by step

  1. Open the PDF and enter a short label, such as Draft, or choose an image watermark.
  2. Adjust position and opacity in the preview. Keep the document readable beneath the mark.
  3. Save a copy and inspect pages with both light and dark backgrounds.

Before you share the result

Check both light and dark page areas; a watermark can disappear against one background or obscure another.
