Add a Text Watermark to Every Page of a PDF

Updated 27 October 2026 · 2 min read · By the LabelCroppers team

A watermark shows ownership or status – "Confidential", "Copy", "Paid" or your brand name. The watermark tool stamps your text on every page.

Customise the watermark

  • Text, size and colour.
  • Opacity from very light to solid.
  • Angle: 45°, 0°, -45° or 90°.
  • Layout: one centred watermark or tiled across the page.

Ideas for sellers

  • Mark catalog PDFs and price lists with your brand to discourage copying.
  • Stamp "SAMPLE" on line sheets sent to new buyers.
  • Mark internal documents "CONFIDENTIAL" before sharing.

Tiled or centred?

A single centred watermark looks clean on documents. A tiled layout repeats the text across the page, which is harder to crop out of screenshots of catalogs and price lists.

How to use the Add watermark, step by step

  1. Open Add watermark and drop a PDF.
  2. Type your text and set the style.
  3. Click Add watermark & Download.

Tips

  • 20–30% opacity keeps the text readable while the watermark stays visible.

Frequently asked questions

Can a watermark be removed?

A text watermark is part of the page, but determined people can edit PDFs. For strong protection, convert pages to images after watermarking.
