Your PDF stays on your device

Most online PDF tools send your file to a server. This one runs in your browser instead, so there is nothing to delete later and nothing to leak.

  • Works offline. Load the page, turn off the internet, and it still works.
  • No account, no watermark. The result is yours, with nothing added.

Frequently asked questions

Can the watermark be removed later?
It is drawn into the page content, like any other text, so casual readers cannot switch it off. A determined editor could still remove it; no watermark is tamper-proof.
Can I use an image as the watermark?
Not on this page yet. Open the PDF in the editor, place the image on the first page and duplicate it onto the others.
Is my document uploaded?
No. The watermark is applied in your browser, and the page works offline.
