  3. Click "Add watermark & download" to save a copy with the watermark on every page.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No - the watermark is drawn entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. The file you upload never leaves your device.

Where does the watermark appear?

Diagonally across the center of every page, at a light opacity so the original content stays readable underneath.

Can I use an image or logo instead of text?

Not yet - this tool only adds a text watermark.

Can I change the watermark's color, size, or angle?

Not yet - it's a fixed gray, 45-degree, semi-transparent watermark. Only the text itself is customizable.

Does adding a watermark reduce PDF quality?

No - pdf-lib draws the watermark text directly onto each existing page without re-rendering or recompressing anything else on it.

What's the watermarked file called?

Your original filename with -watermarked added, like report-watermarked.pdf.
