Features
Use any words: CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, COPY, your company name or a date.
Make the watermark faint so the page stays readable, or bold so it cannot be missed.
Set the font size and rotate the text, for example 45 degrees diagonally across the page.
Add numbers such as "Page 3 of 10" to every page, in the header or footer.
The watermark and numbers are applied to the whole document in one go.
Your PDF is changed on your own device, so confidential files never reach a server.
When to use it
A watermark tells readers what a document is: a draft that is not final, a confidential copy that should not be shared, or a sample that belongs to your company. Page numbers make long documents easy to discuss and print in order. Together they give reports, proposals and study notes a finished, professional look. Both are added in one step, and you can check the settings before you download the result.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add a watermark to a PDF for free?
Choose your PDF, type the watermark text, set the look you want and download. There is no account, no cost and no PDFMasala logo added to your file.
Can I add page numbers without a watermark?
Yes. Leave the watermark option unticked and only tick page numbering.
Will the watermark hide my text?
Not if you keep the opacity low. A faint watermark of around 20 to 30 percent opacity is easy to see but lets the page be read normally.
Can the watermark be removed later?
The watermark is drawn into each page of the new PDF, so it cannot simply be switched off. Keep your original file if you might need a clean copy.
Is my document private?
Yes. The watermark is added by your browser and the file is never uploaded.
