A watermark can label a working copy as a draft or identify a document’s intended audience. NexaToolPro adds the text to each page in a new PDF without overwriting the source.
How to use Watermark PDF
- Choose a PDF and enter a short watermark phrase.
- Adjust opacity so page content remains readable.
- Select diagonal or horizontal placement.
- Click Add watermark and download.
- Open several pages to check that the watermark does not cover important text.
Good habits
Add the watermark to a copy, not to your only original. Name the output file so that you can tell it from the clean version. Look at the finished file before you share it, and remember that other people can still see the content of the pages behind the mark.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a picture or logo as the watermark?
This tool adds a short text watermark. For a logo you need a different tool.
Can I put the watermark on only some pages?
No. The same text and placement are applied to every page of the document.
Can the watermark be removed later?
A watermark is part of the saved copy, so keep the original file without it if you may need a clean version.
Does a watermark protect my document?
No. It is only a visible label. It does not stop copying, printing or editing.
