Add custom image watermarks to your PDF documents online for free. Protect your intellectual property, brand your documents, or mark them as confidential, draft, or approved. Our tool supports single or multiple PDF files with customizable watermark positioning, opacity, scale, and rotation. Perfect for protecting documents before sharing.
PDF watermarking is the process of adding a visible overlay to your PDF documents, typically an image or logo that appears on each page. Watermarks serve multiple purposes: they protect intellectual property by discouraging unauthorized copying, identify document ownership, indicate document status (like "DRAFT," "CONFIDENTIAL," or "APPROVED"), and add professional branding to business documents.
Image watermarks are particularly effective because they can include your company logo, a custom stamp, or any graphic that represents your brand or document status. Unlike text watermarks, image watermarks can incorporate complex designs, colors, and graphical elements that make your documents instantly recognizable and harder to replicate.
Our free online watermark tool allows you to add image watermarks to single or multiple PDF files at once. You have complete control over the watermark's position, opacity (transparency), size, and rotation angle. This flexibility ensures your watermark is visible enough to serve its purpose while not obscuring the underlying document content.
Click the upload area or drag and drop your PDF files. You can select multiple PDF files at once to apply the same watermark to all of them in a single batch operation.
Select your watermark image - this can be a company logo, a "CONFIDENTIAL" stamp, a signature, or any image you want to appear on your PDFs. PNG images with transparent backgrounds work best.
Choose where the watermark appears (9 position options from corners to center), adjust the opacity for transparency, scale the size, and optionally rotate the watermark at an angle.
Use the preview feature to see how your watermark looks on the first page of your PDF. When satisfied, click "Apply Watermark to All PDFs" to process your files and download them individually or as a ZIP archive.
Apply the same watermark to multiple PDFs simultaneously. Perfect for processing large document sets efficiently without repetitive manual work.
Choose from 9 preset positions including all corners, edges, and center. Place your watermark exactly where it needs to be on every page.
Control watermark transparency from barely visible to fully opaque. Find the perfect balance between visibility and readability of your document content.
Resize your watermark from small to large, and rotate it at any angle. Diagonal watermarks are popular for marking documents as "DRAFT" or "SAMPLE."
See exactly how your watermark will look before processing. Make adjustments in real-time to get the perfect result.
Download all watermarked PDFs as a single ZIP file for convenience, or download individual files one at a time.
PNG files with transparent backgrounds create the cleanest watermarks. The transparency allows document content to show through around your logo or stamp.
Set opacity around 30-50% for watermarks that need to be visible but shouldn't interfere with reading the document. Use higher opacity for stamps that need to stand out.
Rotating watermarks 30-45 degrees creates a classic "stamp" look and makes the watermark harder to crop out of the document.
Watermarks should be large enough to be noticeable but not so large that they dominate the page. Use the preview feature to find the right balance.
Our tool supports common image formats including PNG, JPG, and JPEG. We recommend PNG files with transparent backgrounds for the best results, as they blend naturally with your document content.
Yes, the watermark is automatically applied to every page of your PDF document. This ensures consistent branding or protection throughout the entire document.
Once a watermark is embedded in a PDF, it becomes part of the document. To remove it, you would need the original unwatermarked PDF. Always keep your original files as backups.
You can upload and process multiple PDF files in a single session. Our batch processing feature applies your watermark settings to all uploaded files efficiently.
Yes, your files are transmitted securely using HTTPS encryption. All uploaded files and generated watermarked PDFs are automatically deleted from our servers after processing.
Currently, our tool specializes in image watermarks. For text watermarks, you can create an image of your text (like "CONFIDENTIAL") using any image editor and upload it as your watermark.
Protect and brand your documents with custom watermarks in seconds.
