How to watermark a PDF
Open the document
Choose the PDF from your library or upload it, and open Add a watermark.
Design the watermark
Type your text or choose a picture, then set its size, angle, transparency and position.
Apply and save
Choose all pages or some, and save. The watermarked PDF is a new version; the original stays clean.
Watermarks your way
Text or picture
Write Confidential, Draft or your own words, or use your logo as the watermark.
Look and placement
Choose the font, size, colour, rotation, opacity and position, and put the watermark behind or in front of the content.
All pages or some
Watermark the whole document or only the pages you pick.
Backgrounds and stamps
Add a background behind the content, or stamp pages as Approved, Draft or Confidential.
Your clean copy stays
The watermark is saved in a new version, so the original without it is still there.
Private by design
Encrypted and private
Every file is encrypted before it's stored, and only you and the people you share with can open it.
Your original stays safe
Every change is saved as a new version. The original is never changed, and you can restore it at any time.
No watermarks
Files you save never get a watermark, on any plan, including the free one.
Works in your browser
Nothing to install. Use it on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebooks, iPhone, iPad and Android.
Questions and answers
How do I add a watermark to a PDF?
Open the PDF with Add a watermark in PDFZyro, type your text or choose a picture, adjust how it looks and where it goes, and save.
Can I use my logo as a watermark?
Yes. Choose a picture instead of text and set its size and transparency.
Can I remove a watermark later?
Your original without the watermark is kept as an earlier version, so you can go back to it at any time.
Does PDFZyro add its own watermark to my files?
No. PDFZyro never adds a watermark to files you save, on any plan.
Can the watermark go behind the text?
Yes. Put it behind the page content so the text stays easy to read, or in front of it so it can't be missed. Lower the opacity for a subtle mark, and choose the rotation, such as diagonal across the page.
Is Watermark PDF free?
Yes. The Free plan includes 3 edit, convert, compress or OCR tasks a day, with files up to 50 MB, and never adds a watermark. Pro removes the daily limit and is free to try for 7 days, with no card needed.
