Stamp a watermark on every page of a PDF.
For stamping a draft, a confidential file, or marking it as review-only.
Type the watermark text — "DRAFT", "CONFIDENTIAL", "INTERNAL ONLY", your client's name — and we render it on every page at the position, opacity, size, and angle you choose. Watermarks are baked into the PDF; once written, they're not removable without re-exporting the original. Save a copy of the source file before watermarking if you need to try variations.

- What if my PDF is too large to email?
- Run the free PDF size check first — we’ll tell you whether your file fits in Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail, and which DocShop tool will get it there. The check runs in your browser; the file never leaves your device.
- Can I undo a watermark once it's applied?
- No — watermarks are baked into the PDF. There is no way to remove them without re-exporting the original file. Always keep an un-watermarked master copy if you might need to try variations.
- How long can the watermark text be?
- Up to 64 characters. Long watermarks render smaller to fit on the page. For short labels like "DRAFT" or "CONFIDENTIAL", the default font size (60pt) is correct. For longer text like "ACME CORP — INTERNAL ONLY", use a smaller font size so the whole phrase fits on one line.
- Can I have different watermarks on different pages?
- No — the same watermark text, position, opacity, and rotation apply to every page. For per-page watermarks (rare), split the PDF into sections, watermark each section differently, then merge them back.
- Does the watermark show on print?
- Yes — the watermark is part of the PDF content layer and shows up identically on screen and on print. It cannot be hidden by changing print settings.
