Frequently asked questions

Can the watermark be removed later?

The watermark is drawn into the content of each page, so it can't be switched off like a layer in an ordinary PDF reader. Someone with PDF editing software can still edit or cover it, so a watermark discourages reuse but isn't a security measure. Keep a copy without the watermark if you'll need a clean version.

Can I write the watermark in any language?

Yes. Text in the Latin alphabet is added as real text. Other scripts, such as Chinese or Arabic, are drawn as a high-resolution transparent image, so they display correctly without embedding a large font in your file.

Does the watermark change the rest of the document?

No. The original pages are kept as they are, with selectable text, links and images. The watermark is only added on top of each page.

Is my file uploaded to add the watermark?

No. The watermark is drawn in your browser with pdf-lib, and the file never leaves your device.

How it works

From file to finished PDF in three steps

1

Pick a tool

Open any of the 17 tools above and drop in your file — no account, no install, and no upload screen to wait on.

2

Processed on your device

Your browser does the actual work using WebAssembly and JavaScript (pdf-lib, pdf.js), the same technology behind offline apps. The file itself never leaves your computer.

3

Download the result

As soon as processing finishes, your browser triggers a normal file download. Nothing is stored on our end — there's no server copy to delete because one was never made.
