WHAT IS WATERMARK PDF?

Watermark PDF stamps text such as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "DRAFT" onto the pages you choose. The watermark is drawn as vector text — pages are never turned into images and the original content is kept intact.

Features

  1. Set the text, font size, opacity (0–100%), rotation (0°/45°/90° or custom), color, and one of five positions.
  2. Apply it to every page, or only to a range such as 1-3, 5.
  3. A what-you-see-is-what-you-get preview appears before you download; pages with their own rotation or crop box are handled so the position matches what you see.
  4. Text can be in any language: common Latin letters stay real, selectable text; other scripts (CJK, Vietnamese, Thai …) are stamped as a picture that cannot be selected or searched.

How to use?

  1. Upload one PDF.
  2. Enter the watermark text, adjust its look and the pages, and check the preview.
  3. Click "Download PDF" to get the watermarked copy.

Frequently asked questions

Does adding a watermark turn my pages into images?

No. The watermark is drawn onto the page as real PDF vector text, so the original text, graphics and fonts are preserved and selectable text stays selectable. Nothing is screenshotted or converted through HTML.

Can I use a Chinese, Japanese or Korean watermark?

Yes. The tool draws text in any language (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, accented European letters …) with your browser’s own fonts and text engine, so Thai vowel/tone marks and Vietnamese stacked accents are placed correctly. Text made only of common Latin letters stays real, selectable text; other scripts are stamped as a picture that cannot be selected or searched, and the original page content is never turned into an image. If your device has no font for a character it can show as a box, so check the preview first.

Can I watermark only some pages?

Yes. Choose "Page range" and enter something like 1-3, 5 — only those pages are watermarked, and every other page, the page count and the order stay unchanged. You can also set opacity (0–100%), rotation (0°/45°/90° or a custom angle) and one of five positions.
