Good to know
- The watermark is drawn on top of each page in grey Helvetica Bold. Anyone with a PDF editor can remove it, so it is a label, not protection.
- Latin characters only; use the PDF editor for text in other scripts.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I watermark a PDF for free?
- Add the PDF, type the watermark text, choose how strong it should look, and select Add watermark. The watermarked copy downloads at once.
- Can a watermark be removed?
- Yes, by anyone with a PDF editor. A watermark marks a document as a draft or confidential; it does not stop copying. Use Protect PDF to require a password.
