Add a Watermark to a PDF — Text or Image, Private

Stamp a watermark across every page of a PDF — a "DRAFT" label, a "CONFIDENTIAL" mark, or your own logo. Utilitly lets you use text or an image, and fine-tune the color, font size, opacity, rotation, and position, all right in your browser. Your file is never uploaded and stays entirely on your device.

About This Tool

Utilitly's Watermark PDF tool overlays a text or image mark across the pages of a PDF — to protect intellectual property, or to label a document's status like "DRAFT" or "CONFIDENTIAL." The browser-based engine applies it fast and keeps your sensitive files on your device, since nothing is uploaded.

Text or image watermarks

Use whichever fits: type text — a label, your name, a status — or upload an image or logo to brand the document. Either way, the watermark is applied consistently across every page.

Control opacity, rotation, and position

Fine-tune exactly how the watermark looks. Set the opacity so it's visible without obscuring the content, choose a rotation angle (a 45° diagonal is classic for "DRAFT"), and pick a position — diagonal center, tiled across the background, dead center, or any corner.

Add a watermark privately, in your browser

There's no upload and no server copy. The watermark is applied entirely in your browser, so confidential documents stay on your device. If you've searched for how to watermark a PDF without uploading it anywhere, this keeps everything local.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add a text watermark and an image watermark?

Yes. You can type a text watermark — like "DRAFT" or "CONFIDENTIAL" — or upload an image or logo to use as the watermark instead.

Can I control how the watermark looks?

Yes. You can set the color, font size, opacity, rotation angle, and position — diagonal center, tiled across the background, centered, or in any corner.

Is the watermark applied to every page?

Yes. The watermark is added consistently across all pages of your PDF.

Does adding a watermark upload my document to the cloud?

No. The Watermark PDF tool processes your document 100% locally inside your browser, so your private files never leave your device.

How do I add a diagonal "DRAFT" watermark?

Type "DRAFT" as the text, set a rotation angle of 45°, choose the diagonal center position, and adjust the opacity so it's visible but not overpowering.

Can I use my company logo as a watermark?

Yes. Upload your logo as an image watermark and position it wherever you'd like on the pages.

Is it safe to watermark a confidential PDF online?

Yes. Because everything is processed locally in your browser and nothing is uploaded, even sensitive documents stay entirely on your device.
