Questions

Is watermarking a PDF here really private?
Yes. The stamp is drawn onto each page inside your browser — the file is never sent over the network.
What does the watermark look like?
A single line of your text, large, light gray and semi-transparent, running diagonally across the middle of each page — the common look for drafts and sample documents. There's no logo or image option yet, and no control over colour or angle in this first version.
Can I remove a watermark I added by mistake?
Not with this tool — once it's stamped in, it's part of the page like any other text. Keep your original file until you're happy with the result; this tool never touches it.
Is there a file size limit?
100 MB per file, and 30 files per batch, limited by your device's memory rather than a paid tier.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no email, and no usage cap. Nothing about your files is logged.

About watermarking PDFs

A watermark isn't a special PDF feature — it's just text, drawn onto the page like any other content, sized and angled to sit across whatever's already there without hiding it entirely. Making it read clearly at a diagonal, at low opacity, on every page regardless of size or orientation, is really just repeating the same drawing operation once per page with the same settings.
Because the stamp is drawn directly onto the page content, it opens identically in any PDF reader, and it's genuinely part of the file from that point on — not a removable layer or annotation. Everything runs in your browser. Your file is never uploaded, never queued on a server, and never deleted from one — because it was never there.
