Add Watermark to PDF

Place a diagonal text watermark on every page locally.

About this tool

Place a diagonal text watermark on every page locally. The watermark is added as page content and is not access control. Processing uses PDF-lib inside your browser, so the source file is not uploaded to ToolBlur.

How to use

  1. 1Choose an unencrypted PDF.
  2. 2Enter the requested pages or option.
  3. 3Create, verify and download the new PDF.

Benefits

  • Browser-side PDF processing.
  • No account or upload.
  • Original source file remains unchanged.

Use a watermark as communication, not access control

Practical example

Adding “DRAFT — 2026-07-28” across review copies makes their status visible. It does not stop a recipient from copying text, taking screenshots or removing the mark.

Interpreting the result

Choose readable contrast without obscuring essential content, include a useful status or recipient label and inspect pages with dark images or small text before distribution.

Limits and common mistakes

A watermark is not encryption, digital signing, rights management or secure redaction. Confidential files still require controlled access and appropriate document security.
