Key Features

Custom Watermark Text

Type any phrase: 'CONFIDENTIAL', 'DRAFT', a client name, or your watermark of choice. Multi-word phrases supported with sensible defaults — type and apply.

Diagonal Layout for Visibility

Watermark appears diagonally across each page for maximum visibility without obscuring the underlying text. The classic legal/draft document style, applied with one click.

Opacity & Size Controls

Adjust opacity from subtle gray hint to bold colored stamp, and tune font size for the document's page dimensions. Match the watermark's intensity to its purpose.

Stamps Every Page

Watermark applies uniformly across all pages — no per-page configuration needed. Run multiple PDFs through with the same setting for consistent batch branding.

Fast Even on Long PDFs

Watermark text is added as a single overlay layer per page via pdf-lib. Hundreds of pages get watermarked in seconds — no per-page render wait.

100% Private — In-Browser Only

Watermarking is done locally with pdf-lib. Sensitive prototypes, NDAs, and pre-publication documents never get uploaded — the watermark proves they shouldn't.
