How to Use the PDF Watermark & Page Number Tool

Select a PDF, then decide what you want to stamp on it. Turn the watermark switch on and type your text — CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, a client name or a copyright line — and set the size and opacity until it is visible without obscuring the content underneath. The watermark is drawn diagonally across the centre of every page, which is the hardest position to crop out of a screenshot.

Turn on page numbers to add a discreet centred number and total at the foot of each page, which is invaluable for contracts, tenders and printed handouts where people need to refer to a specific page. Press Apply & download and a stamped copy is generated locally and saved to your device. The original document stays exactly as it was, and its text remains selectable in the stamped copy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the watermark be removed later?
It is drawn into the page content, so it cannot be toggled off in a normal reader. Keep your original file if you will need a clean version.
Will page numbers overwrite existing footers?
They are placed near the bottom centre of the page. If your document already has a footer there, reduce the risk by using the watermark only, or add numbering before adding your own footer.
