Place a clear text watermark on a PDF

Add a short visual label such as DRAFT or SAMPLE using reviewed size, angle, position, colour and opacity ranges.

Open private workspace

Opens in this tab on the ad-free workspace at tooleni.com. No file detail is added to the link.

When this tool is a good fit

Use this to make a review state obvious on a trusted copy while remembering that the visible label does not prevent copying.

  • Prepare a working copy and keep your original file unchanged.
  • Read the limits below before opening the private workspace.
  • Review the generated result on your device before sharing or replacing anything.

What you receive

The result is a fresh PDF with the chosen text rendered as a bounded visual element and a fixed Tooleni output name.

The workspace is a separate, ad-free page designed for the document task. This information page never receives a selected file and does not run the processor.

How to prepare and finish

  1. Prepare one accepted PDF and a short printable text label that does not include confidential information you do not need displayed.
  2. Open the private workspace, enter 1 to 80 supported characters and preview the fixed placement options on representative pages.
  3. Generate the PDF, review every affected page for readability, and save the result only when the visible mark is appropriate.

What stays private

  • PDF content and watermark text stay inside the browser workspace and its dedicated worker during the job.
  • Watermark text, source names and document details are never added to analytics, public logs or the fixed return link.
