Watermark PDF

Add a text watermark to every page

About this tool

Add a professional text watermark to every page of a PDF. Choose from diagonal, center, top, or bottom positioning, set the opacity (light, medium, strong), and pick a color. Useful for marking confidentiality status, draft revisions, or copyright notices.

Why use a watermark pdf tool?

Watermarks tell viewers something important: 'DRAFT', 'CONFIDENTIAL', 'COPY', or your brand name. They deter casual misuse and clearly mark document status. ShrinkTo adds text watermarks at any angle, opacity, and color across every page.

Common use cases

Mark drafts

Stamp "DRAFT" so reviewers know it is not final.

Brand client deliverables

Add company name as a faint watermark on every page.

Indicate copies

"COPY" stamp helps distinguish from originals.

Confidentiality

"CONFIDENTIAL — DO NOT DISTRIBUTE" deters casual leaking.

  3. Click Apply Watermark. Stamp added to every page.
  4. Download watermarked file. Original is unchanged.
