How to Add a Text Watermark to a PDF or Image
Text Watermark stamps your own words on top of a PDF or an image, such as Confidential, Draft or your name. Pick a font, make it bold or italic, choose a color, set the size in points, and adjust opacity and rotation until it looks right.
You can drag a single watermark to the position you want, or switch to a repeating layout that covers the whole page. For PDFs, apply it to every page, only the page you are viewing or a page range you choose.
- Drop a PDF or image onto the page.
- Type your watermark text and choose font, color and size.
- Adjust opacity and rotation, then pick a single or repeating layout.
- For a PDF, choose which pages to apply it to, then click Download.
Lower opacity keeps the page readable while still marking it clearly. The watermark is added in your browser and the file is not uploaded, so it is suitable for private documents.
Frequently asked questions
Can I watermark only some PDF pages?
Yes. Apply it to all pages, to the current page only, or to a specific page range.
Can I repeat the watermark across the page?
Yes. Turn on the repeat layout to tile the text over the whole page, or leave it off and drag one watermark where you want it.
Does it work on images as well as PDFs?
Yes. You can add the same kind of text watermark to a photo or a PDF.
