Works everywhere

PC, Mac, iPhone, Android — just a modern browser. Safari, Chrome, Firefox or Edge.

Adding a watermark to a PDF overlays a semi-transparent text or image on all pages of the document. Watermarks are used to indicate document confidentiality ("CONFIDENTIAL", "DRAFT"), to mark distributed copies with the recipient's name, or to add a company logo.

OnlinePdfEditor lets you customise the watermark text, size, angle, opacity and position. The watermark is applied as a visual layer on each page and embedded in the exported PDF.

The process happens in the browser without transmitting the document to external servers. The text watermark is selectable in the resulting PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use an image as a watermark instead of text?

Yes. You can upload a PNG or JPG image (ideally with a transparent background) to use as a watermark instead of text.

Is the watermark applied to all pages?

Yes. By default the watermark is applied to every page of the document. You can also limit it to a page range.

Can I adjust the watermark transparency?

Yes. The opacity slider lets you choose how visible the watermark is, from nearly invisible to fully opaque.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Everything happens in the browser. The file never leaves your device.

Can the watermark be removed later?

The watermark is embedded in the PDF as a graphic element. It is not removable with standard tools once applied.

Does it work on smartphones?

Yes. It works on any modern browser on iOS and Android.
