About Watermark PDF — Free Online Tool
Watermark PDF stamps text such as CONFIDENTIAL or DRAFT, or an image you supply, across every page of a document.
The mark is composited onto each page at the angle and opacity you choose. Worth understanding before relying on it: this is a visual mark drawn over the page, not security. It discourages casual reuse and makes the status of a document obvious, but it can be removed by someone determined — it is not encryption or a permission setting.
The stamping runs in your browser, which matters here: the documents people watermark are usually the ones they least want uploaded.
Marking a contract as a draft before circulating it, labelling a document per recipient to trace a leak, branding a whitepaper, and making sure an internal copy is not mistaken for the final one.
