Your PDF is opened and changed inside your own browser. Nothing is uploaded to our servers, so it is safe for invoices, contracts, CVs and personal documents.
When to use a watermark
Mark drafts before approval, label copies you send out, or brand quotations and price lists so they are not passed off as someone else's.
Questions people often ask
Straight answers to the questions we hear most often.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no page limit, for personal or business documents.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The PDF is processed entirely in your browser, so the file never leaves your phone or computer.
Can people remove the watermark?
A watermark discourages copying and shows a document's status, but anyone with editing software can work around it. Do not rely on it to protect very sensitive files.
Can I add my logo as a watermark?
This tool adds text. To add a logo, use Edit PDF and insert your logo image on the pages you need.
Can I use a password-protected PDF?
Not directly. Open the PDF with its password, save a copy without the password, then use that copy.
Want your brand on every document?
