Your file stays private. It is sent over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, used only to make your result, and deleted as soon as you're done. Never shared, never sold, never looked at. Privacy policy

Stamp a semi-transparent text watermark - DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, SAMPLE or your company name - across the pages of a PDF. As soon as you choose a file, every page opens in one scrolling preview with the watermark already on it, and it changes live as you type the text or pick the colour (12 ready-made colours or any colour you like), size, angle and opacity. Untick any page to leave it clean, then download. Sideways-saved pages get the same upright, centred watermark as the rest.

Frequently asked questions
