How do I add a watermark to a PDF?

  1. Choose your PDF.
  2. Type your text and set its size, transparency and position.
  3. Press “Add watermark”, then download the PDF.

When you send an ID document or a payslip, a watermark stating its intended use (“Rental application, agency X, September”) reduces the risk of your documents being reused fraudulently.

Type your text, then choose its size, transparency and position: diagonally across the whole page or discreetly at the bottom. The watermark is added to every page.

Your sensitive documents stay on your device: the watermark is added by your browser, without any upload.
