Watermarks deter unauthorized sharing and clearly mark document status. CrispPDF's Watermark tool lets you stamp text ("DRAFT," "CONFIDENTIAL," your name) or upload a logo—then customize opacity, angle, size, and position.
Apply the watermark to one page, selected pages, or the entire document. Preview the result before downloading. The workflow is instant and entirely browser-based, so your files stay private.
For coaching centers protecting study materials, a semi-transparent logo on every page discourages redistribution. For legal teams marking drafts before final review, a diagonal "DRAFT" stamp ensures no one mistakes the file for the approved version.
After watermarking, explore related tools: flatten the PDF to lock the watermark permanently, compress for email, or password-protect before sending.

// FAQ
Watermark PDF — frequently asked questions
+How to add my coaching center logo as a watermark to a PDF?
Upload the PDF, drag in your logo image, adjust opacity and position, and download.
+Can I write 'DRAFT' lightly across the page?
Yes. Type 'DRAFT,' set low opacity, and tilt diagonally for a classic draft stamp.
+Is it free?
Yes. CrispPDF is 100 % free—no signup, no watermark on the output itself.
+How do I watermark a PDF file?
Upload to CrispPDF, add text or a logo, customize appearance, and download.
+Can I add a transparent logo watermark?
Yes. Upload a PNG with transparency and lower the opacity slider as needed.
+How do I put a 'Confidential' stamp on a PDF?
Type 'CONFIDENTIAL,' set the angle and position, and apply to all pages.
+How do I watermark a property document or sale deed copy?
Add a diagonal text watermark such as 'COPY — NOT FOR REGISTRATION' or the recipient's name across every page. That marks circulated copies clearly without altering the original, and it discourages reuse of a scanned deed.
+What watermark do lawyers use on draft agreements?
'DRAFT', 'PRIVILEGED & CONFIDENTIAL', or the matter number, applied to all pages at low opacity so the text stays readable. Flatten the PDF afterwards so the watermark cannot simply be deleted.
+Can the watermark be removed by the recipient?
If you flatten the document after watermarking, the mark becomes part of the page content and cannot be selected or deleted in an ordinary PDF editor.
