Add Watermark to PDF

Add text or a logo as a watermark — on every page or only on the ones you choose.

Drag your PDF here
or click to choose

The watermark is added to the PDF without converting it to an image: the original content, selectable text and quality stay intact. Text with non-Latin characters is inserted as an image, in the watermark only.

Frequently asked questions

Does the watermark cover the original content and make it unreadable?

It doesn't have to — you can adjust the opacity so it's clearly visible without making the text underneath unreadable, and choose whichever position you prefer (diagonal, centered, corner).

Can I use an image or logo instead of text?

Yes, besides text you can also upload an image (such as a PNG logo) to use as a watermark.

Can I apply the watermark to only some pages?

Yes, you can choose to apply it to all pages or only to a specific range.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens inside your own browser — the file never leaves your computer or passes through any external server. You can confirm this by disconnecting from the internet once the page has loaded: the tool keeps working normally.

Do I need to create an account or pay anything?

No. PDFsy doesn't ask for sign-up, an account or payment — just open the page and use the tool.

Is PDFsy an alternative to iLovePDF?

Yes. PDFsy offers PDF tools equivalent to iLovePDF's — merge, convert, compress, protect and much more — available in 25 languages, with no usage limits, no need to create an account, and 100% local processing in your browser, without uploading any file to any server.
