    How to add a watermark to a PDF

    A watermark — CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, or your name — across each page signals how a document should be treated and discourages misuse. CorePDFTools adds watermarks in your browser.

    1. Upload your PDF. Drop your PDF into the box above or browse to it.
    2. Enter your watermark text. Type the text and choose its opacity so it's visible but doesn't obscure the content.
    3. Apply and download. Apply the watermark across every page and download the result.

    Mark documents clearly and privately

    Watermarking a sensitive draft on someone else's server defeats the purpose. Doing it locally keeps the document private. A medium, semi-transparent watermark stays readable over your content while clearly marking the document's status.

    Common uses

    Marking a document CONFIDENTIAL or DRAFT

    Stamp the status across every page to signal how it should be treated.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can a watermark be removed?

    A flattened watermark becomes part of the page and is hard to remove cleanly. It's a strong deterrent, not encryption.

    Will the watermark cover my text?

    Set a medium opacity so the watermark is visible but your content stays readable underneath.

    Is my document uploaded?

    No. The watermark is applied in your browser.
