Mark Every Page — CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, or Your Own Text

A watermark tells everyone how a document should be treated before they read a word of it. This tool draws your text diagonally across every page at the size, colour, and opacity you choose — ideal for marking contracts CONFIDENTIAL, labelling revisions DRAFT, or adding your name to work you share.

The watermark is drawn as real PDF text on top of each page, so the original content is untouched underneath. Everything runs on your device via open-source browser libraries — your file is never uploaded. You can verify it yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my own text?

Yes — type anything up to 40 characters (a name, a status like DRAFT, a company name). It is stamped diagonally across every page.

Will it cover up my content?

The watermark is semi-transparent (you control the opacity), so the underlying text stays readable. Lower the opacity for a subtle mark.

Is the watermark permanent?

It is drawn into the downloaded copy. Your original file is never changed. For a truly tamper-resistant mark, flatten or protect the file afterwards.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The watermark is applied locally with pdf-lib; your document never leaves your device.
