Frequently asked questions

How do I add a watermark to a PDF?

Add your PDF, type the watermark text, adjust opacity, size and rotation, then click Add watermark. The watermarked PDF downloads to your device.

Can I watermark only some pages?

Yes. Choose Only some pages and type the pages, for example 1-3,5. Pages you leave out stay unchanged.

How do I make a diagonal watermark?

Diagonal at 45 degrees is the default rotation. You can also pick horizontal, vertical or diagonal down from the Rotation menu.

Can I repeat the watermark across the whole page?

Yes. Set Position to Tiled across the page and the text repeats in a staggered pattern that covers each page.

Can I use an image or logo as a watermark?

Not yet. This tool adds text watermarks only, and text must use Latin letters, numbers and common punctuation.

Is it safe to watermark my PDF here?

Yes, because your file never leaves your device. Toolbyte adds the watermark inside your browser, so nothing is uploaded and we cannot see your document.
