Add Watermark to PDF

Stamp a text watermark on your PDF right in the browser. Write any wording, then choose a diagonal tiled layout that covers the whole page or a single centered mark, and tune the font size, color, opacity and rotation. Apply it to every page, the first page only or a custom page range. The watermark is drawn as real vector text, so it stays sharp when printed, and your file is read on your device and never uploaded.

The watermark is drawn as vector text on top of each selected page, so the original content underneath is left untouched, stays selectable and scales cleanly with zoom or print.

Why add a watermark with Aihangsoft

Real text, not a sticker

The mark is drawn as vector text on the page, so it stays razor sharp when the PDF is zoomed or printed and never breaks into pixels.

Private by design

Your PDF is opened and stamped in your browser with pdf-lib. Contracts, drafts and IDs are never uploaded, stored or queued on a server.

Full control

Set the wording, layout, size, color, opacity, rotation and the exact pages you want in one place, with no account and no export limit.

Built for everyday documents

Mark a document confidential

Stamp CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT or INTERNAL across every page in one pass, so a shared file is clearly labelled before it leaves your hands.

Use case: legal drafts, HR files, internal reports

Protect a portfolio or preview

Add a light branded watermark to sample pages before sending a proposal or a design preview to a client or a prospect.

Use case: proposals, portfolios, previews

Brand every page

Repeat a company name or a URL across the whole document so screenshots, handouts and printed copies always carry the source.

Use case: branding, handouts, course material

Watermark only what matters

Apply the mark to the first page or to a custom range, so a signed cover or a title page stays clean while the rest of the file is labelled.

Use case: contracts, invoices, manuals

PDF watermark FAQ

Yes. The watermark is drawn inside your browser with pdf-lib, so your PDF is never uploaded to a server. There is no sign-up, no page limit and no fee, and the watermarked file carries no branding from us.
Add your PDF, type the watermark text, pick the diagonal tiled or single centered layout, then click Add watermark. The tool redraws every selected page and hands you a new PDF to download.
Yes. Choose Custom range under Apply to and type the pages you want, for example 1-3, 5, 8-10. Only those pages receive the watermark and the rest are left exactly as they were.
The watermark is drawn on top of the page at the opacity you set, so a light value such as 20 percent still leaves the underlying text readable. Lower the opacity or shrink the font size if the mark feels too strong.
Yes. Pick any color with the color picker, set the font size from 12 to 96 points, set the opacity from 5 to 60 percent, and rotate the text anywhere between minus 90 and 90 degrees.
Not directly, because an encrypted file has to be unlocked before its pages can be edited. Open it in your PDF reader, save an unprotected copy, watermark that copy, and protect it again afterwards.
