About Watermark PDF

Watermark PDF stamps text or a logo on your pages. Type a word like Confidential, Draft or Sample, or add your company logo, and place it on the page. The tool runs in your browser and your file stays on your device. PDF Hydra never adds its own watermark to your files.

Use a watermark to show that a document is a draft, to mark a copy that is meant for one purpose, or to brand your work. A common use is writing For Visa Application Only across a copy of your passport or ID before you send it. Teachers and designers also use it to mark notes and sample work.
