Add a Watermark to a PDF Free Online

A watermark stamps text across every page of a PDF — DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, a company name, or a copyright notice — to mark a document's status or origin at a glance without altering the actual content underneath.

It's commonly used before sharing a document externally, distinguishing a draft from a final version, or discouraging unauthorized redistribution of something you own.
