Add Watermark

About this Tool

Add watermark to PDF online free — text or image, done in seconds

You're sharing a proposal, a report, or a draft. You want "Confidential" stamped across it. Or your company logo on every page before it goes to the client. TruePDFs Add Watermark tool puts text or image watermarks on your PDF exactly where you want them. Free, browser-based, no installation.

What this tool does

Two watermark types — text or image. Text watermarks let you type anything — "Draft," "Confidential," your company name, copyright notice. Pick font size, color, opacity, rotation, and position. Image watermarks let you upload a PNG logo and place it on the page. Scale it, adjust transparency, and position it anywhere. Both apply across every page automatically.

Who needs this?

Businesses sharing confidential documents

Proposals, financial reports, internal memos — a "Confidential" watermark signals clearly that the document isn't for wider distribution.

Legal professionals

Draft contracts and agreements marked "Draft" so recipients know the version isn't final.

Publishers and content creators

Adding copyright notices or branding to ebooks, guides, and downloadable PDFs before publishing.

Freelancers and agencies

Watermarking client deliverables with your logo or brand name before sending previews — protecting work until payment is confirmed.

Tips for best results

Use semi-transparent text so the document stays readable underneath. Diagonal rotation at -45 degrees works best for "Draft" or "Confidential" labels. For logos, use a PNG with a transparent background so it sits cleanly on the page.
