Stamp your brand on every page.

I add "DRAFT" to all documents before sharing with clients. Diagonal text, 25% opacity — looks exactly like a professional stamp.

We add our firm's name as a watermark to all PDFs before sending to clients. The opacity control makes it visible but not distracting.

FAQ

Common questions

Can the watermark be removed after downloading?
The watermark is embedded in each page's content stream, not added as a separate layer. It cannot be removed with a simple click in Acrobat. However, it is not a security feature — determined users with PDF editing tools may still be able to remove it.
Can I add a watermark to specific pages only?
Yes — use the page range option to apply the watermark to a specific set of pages (e.g. "2-5, 8") rather than the entire document.
Does adding a watermark affect text searchability?
No. The watermark is drawn on top of the page's existing content. The original text layer is untouched and remains fully searchable, selectable, and copy-pasteable.
Can I use an image as a watermark?
Yes — switch to image mode and upload a PNG or SVG logo. The transparency of the image is preserved, so a logo with a transparent background will look correct on any page color.
Will the watermark print?
Yes. The watermark is embedded in the page content, so it prints exactly as it appears on screen. If you set a light opacity it will print light; a dark opacity will print dark — what you see is what you print.
