You can also paste a file directly (Ctrl+V or ⌘V).

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file is not uploaded to a server at any point.

Text watermarks are useful when documents are being reviewed, distributed internally or shared in a form that shouldn't be mistaken for a final copy - they make the intended handling of a document immediately visible.

Custom PDF Watermarks

You're not limited to standard labels - enter your own text when the document needs a specific project name, notice or other visible marking.
