When you would use it
Mark a draft before it circulates
A diagonal DRAFT across every page stops an early version being mistaken for the final one.
Brand a document you are sending out
Drop your logo at low opacity on each page.
Clear a stamp from a document you own
Smart removal finds a repeated text watermark across the file.
Why it stays on your device
Most online PDF sites upload your document to a server, process it there and email you a link. This one does not. The PDF is opened, changed and saved by your own browser, so a contract, a bank statement or an ID scan never travels over the network — and the tool keeps working on a slow connection.
Questions
Can I remove any watermark?
Smart removal works on watermarks drawn as text or as a repeated stamp. One flattened into a scanned image cannot be lifted out cleanly — cover it with the Edit tool instead.
Can I use my logo as the watermark?
Yes. Choose a picture watermark and select a PNG or JPG; transparency is respected.
Will the watermark appear on every page?
That is up to you — apply it to the current page or to all pages.
Is removing a watermark legal?
That depends on the document and your rights to it. Use it on material you own or are permitted to modify.
How do I add a watermark to every page of a PDF?
Type the text, set the angle and opacity, and apply it to all pages — tiled or in one position.
How do I remove a watermark from a PDF free?
Choose Remove. It works on watermarks drawn as text or a repeating stamp; one flattened into a scan has to be covered instead.
