3 Simple Steps to Add a Watermark to PDF

Upload files

Drag & drop your files

With our app, you don’t have to worry about the privacy of your data. Since all processing takes place directly in your browser, your PDFs are visible only to you and no one else.

Every step of the editing process — from import to export — takes just a few seconds.

Upload one or more PDFs from your device, a web page, or cloud storage.

Create watermark

Add a watermark to PDF

What sets our app apart is its incredibly simple and user-friendly watermark editing tools. A wide range of customization options includes font styles, transparency levels, positioning, rotation and more.

Whether you want to enter text directly in the app, upload a ready-made signature, or add your company logo, you’ll have all the tools you need to create a unique watermark design at your fingertips.

Preview & download

Preview & download

The Preview section allows you to see whether the watermark appears on each page exactly as you intended. We offer maximum flexibility for protecting your documents — the watermark can be placed behind the text, applied to selected pages, or positioned in multiple locations.

You can view the results in real time to ensure everything looks perfect before downloading.

Our free app can be used for watermarking PDFs on Windows, Linux, macOS, iPhone and Android.

Main Reasons to Watermark PDFs With Us

Our web app is free. Everything works online, right in your browser. You don’t need to install anything to start watermarking your PDFs. What’s more, you don’t need to sign up or log in with your social accounts.

Batching Versatility Efficiency

Watermark Multiple PDFs in One Go

Our app can add a watermark to a batch of documents simultaneously. Your PDFs can consist of a single page or several pages. It doesn’t matter!

However, if your document contains multiple pages, and you need greater flexibility when applying a watermark to PDF, you can:

  • specify a custom page range
  • apply the watermark only to even or odd pages
  • manually adjust the position and appearance of the watermark on each individual page
  • use different watermarks within the same document, if needed.

Remember, even the free version of the app won’t limit you.

The most user friendly website I have used!!! They literally couldn't make it easier to get the job done. THANK YOU designers!!!!!

Add As Many Watermarks to PDF As You Want

Even in the free version of the app, you can add an unlimited number of watermarks to your document.

Your PDF watermark can consist of:

  • one or multiple lines of text
  • an image
  • a logo
  • a combination of text and image.

There are no limits on the format type of images and logos that you can upload to the PDF watermark maker. Our tool supports JPG, PNG, SVG, HEIC, and WEBP.

If your logo has a solid-color background, you can remove it. This way, your watermark won’t distract from the main content, will look more professional and fit seamlessly into your document.

You can also create a logo from scratch – our app offers all the tools you’ll need.

This is a magnificent application, I have been using it for years and they are always improving and looking for ways to make your work easier. I recommend it to everyone.

Speed Up Your Workflow With Pre-Saved Templates

Our goal is to make your watermarking experience faster and more efficient. That’s why the app saves the last 10 watermarks you’ve applied to your PDFs.

This feature comes in handy if you regularly apply the same PDF watermark, or if you have a few templates you switch between.

There's no need to create a new watermark on PDF every time you open the app.

Even better, if you got creative in previous sessions and designed a truly unique watermark, there's no need to remember the font, color, size, or other settings. The app will do it for you.

Easy to use, and, most of all, it remembers patterns.

Customize Your Watermark on PDF Like a Pro

Even after the main editing is done, you’ll still have the chance to make final adjustments in the Preview section. This gives you extra confidence that the watermark on each page of your PDF is positioned and styled exactly the way you want.

Main Types of Watermarks on PDFs

The type and content of a watermark on a document directly depend on the purpose it serves. Here are the main reasons for applying a watermark to a PDF:

  1. Prevent unauthorized sharing, copying, or tampering. This type of watermark is typically applied to legal documents or internal corporate reports. It usually says "Confidential", "Restricted", or "Do Not Distribute", and can be combined with user-specific info (e.g., IP address, username, timestamp).
  2. Show that the document is not final and is still under revision. This type of watermark is often semi-transparent, grey and positioned diagonally. It can say something like "DRAFT", "UNDER REVIEW", or "FOR APPROVAL". Such PDF watermarks are usually used for contracts, policy documents, design and project proposals.
  3. Reinforce brand identity or ownership of content. Your watermark may contain a logo, a company name, slogan, or some other brand elements. It can be subtle (in the corner or background) or prominent (centered). It might also include a copyright or a trademark symbol, and be used for E-books, whitepapers and marketing materials.
  4. Clarify document usage rights or limitations. You can put a text like "Read-only", "Non-commercial use only" etc. on your documents. Your watermark may include license keys or subscription details. For example, it can be used for licensed software documentation.

FAQ

How to add watermark to PDF for free?

Go to visualwatermark.com and select the Watermark PDF tool. It allows you to process files for free, with no limits on the number or size of uploaded documents, or the number of watermarks you can apply. Our free app offers a comprehensive set of design tools, and you can start using it without registration. The only difference between the free and paid versions is our small brand logo at the bottom of the processed documents.

How to watermark a PDF document on Android?

You can install a mobile version of our app. It allows you to watermark PDFs, as well as watermark photos. The interface and the editing toolkit are the same as in the browser-based version. Please note that if you want to process files for free, you will need to allow the app to use ad tracking.

Does my watermark on PDF have to be in the form of text?

No, not at all. You can watermark PDFs with your brand logo, if you have it. This will also show people who the file belongs to. If you don’t have a logo designed for you, you can pick an icon from our gallery. However, since they are ready-made, your watermark won’t be unique. So, you’ll probably have to pair up your icon with a string of text. Figure out what goals you want to achieve with your watermark, then use your imagination and our online tool to design it.
