Watermark PDF. Privately.

Stamp CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT or your name diagonally across every page. It all happens in your browser, so your file is never uploaded — and we don't add a watermark of our own. That's the part iLovePDF can't say.

Common questions

Are my files uploaded?+

No. The watermark is added entirely in your browser with a local PDF engine — your file never leaves your device. iLovePDF and most tools upload your PDF to their servers first.

Where does the watermark go?+

A single large watermark is placed diagonally across the centre of every page, at the strength you choose.

Can I change the opacity?+

Yes — pick Light, Medium or Strong so the watermark is visible without hiding your content.

Is there a limit?+

No artificial caps. Free, unlimited, no signup or extra watermark of our own.

Does it keep quality?+

Yes — your pages are untouched; we only overlay the watermark text.
