Mark your documents as yours

A watermark signals ownership and status: CONFIDENTIAL on a draft, DRAFT on a proposal, or a company name across a shared deck. The Add Watermark tool overlays your chosen text — or an image such as a logo — diagonally across every page of the PDF so it is clearly marked from front to back.

The overlay is applied in your browser using pdf-lib, so your document is processed locally and never uploaded. That is the right approach for the very files people watermark most: confidential contracts, unreleased reports, and proprietary material you do not want sitting on someone else's server.

Adjustable opacity and placement

You control how the watermark looks. Set the opacity so it is bold enough to notice but light enough to read the text underneath, and the mark is placed diagonally across the full page for consistent coverage. Text watermarks render as sharp vector type, while an image watermark is scaled to sit neatly over your content.

Only the watermark you choose is added — Pixohub never stamps its own branding onto your file. The tool is free, requires no account, and has no page limits beyond your device's memory. It works on both desktop and mobile browsers.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use text or an image as the watermark?

Both. You can type custom watermark text or upload an image such as a logo to overlay across the pages.

Where is the watermark placed?

It is laid diagonally across every page for consistent, hard-to-miss coverage from the first page to the last.

Can I control how visible it is?

Yes. You can adjust the opacity so the watermark is prominent while still leaving the underlying content readable.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The watermark is applied in your browser with pdf-lib, so your document never leaves your device.

Does Pixohub add its own watermark too?

No. Only the watermark you specify is added. We never stamp our own branding onto your file.

Is it free with no page limit?

Yes. The tool is completely free, needs no account, and has no page limits beyond your device's available memory.
