A PDF watermark is a text or image that appears behind or on top of the content of each page in a PDF document. Watermarks are commonly used to indicate document status (DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL), establish ownership, protect intellectual property, or add branding to documents.
Text watermarks use words or phrases like "CONFIDENTIAL", "DRAFT", "SAMPLE", or "DO NOT COPY". They are fully customizable with different fonts, sizes, colors, and positions. Image watermarks use graphics like company logos, stamps, or signatures. They are ideal for branding and can include transparent backgrounds for professional results.
Businesses use watermarks to protect confidential documents from unauthorized sharing. Publishers add watermarks to review copies and proofs. Legal professionals mark documents as copies or originals. Educational institutions brand course materials. Photographers protect digital proofs with logo watermarks.
For readability, use 20-40% opacity so the watermark is visible but does not obstruct content. Diagonal placement (45 degrees) works well for status watermarks like "DRAFT". Center placement is best for logos and branding. Use contrasting colors - gray works well on most documents. For security, larger watermarks covering more area are harder to remove.
While watermarks do not prevent copying, they deter unauthorized distribution and establish ownership. Visible watermarks make it clear a document is not for redistribution. For sensitive documents, combine watermarks with password protection using our Protect PDF tool for comprehensive security.
Unlike other online tools that upload your files to servers, our PDF watermark tool processes everything in your browser. Your PDF and watermark images never leave your device - the processing uses JavaScript running locally. This is the most secure option for confidential documents.
