About this tool

Why it exists.

Drafts need a DRAFT stamp, confidential files need a clear warning, and long documents need page numbers. Doing this in a PDF editor can be slow or paid, so this tool does it directly in your browser.

Type your watermark and choose its size, opacity, angle and colour, and/or turn on page numbers with the format, position and starting number you prefer. The new PDF downloads straight away with a preview of its first page. Your original file stays untouched and nothing is uploaded.

How to use it.

  1. Open a PDF.
  2. Set the watermark and page number options.
  3. Press Apply and download the new PDF.

Good questions.

Can I add page numbers without a watermark?

Yes. Leave the watermark text blank and keep Add page numbers ticked.

Can I start numbering from a number other than 1?

Yes. Change Start at. This is useful when the document is a continuation of another.

Why does my watermark text fail?

The built-in font supports Latin letters only. Characters such as Arabic, Chinese or emoji cannot be drawn with it.
