What this tool does

Overlays a text watermark on the pages you choose — useful for marking drafts or tracking distribution.

  2. Enter which pages get the watermark.

  4. Run it, then open the result and check readability.

Frequently asked questions

The watermark hides the content.
Shorter text overlaps less. You can also leave out pages that contain critical tables or signature blocks.
Can the watermark be removed?
Not easily from the output, but specialised tools can strip it. Do not rely on it to prevent leaks, and keep your original separately.

What this tool does not cover

Text watermarks only — no image watermarks, fine opacity or rotation control, or different text per page. It is not a way to redact confidential content.
