What it does
ActuallyFreeTools adds a text watermark such as DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL or a client name to every page of a PDF, or just the pages you choose — free and without a watermark of its own. Set the angle, size, opacity, colour and layout (centred, tiled or corner to corner). Arabic and other scripts are supported, and nothing is uploaded.
How to use it
- Drop the PDF.
- Type the watermark and choose layout, angle, opacity and colour.
- Apply and download.
Questions people ask
Can the watermark be removed?
It is drawn into the page content, so it cannot simply be switched off, but anyone with a PDF editor can cover it. For stronger protection, flatten the pages afterwards.
Can I watermark only some pages?
Yes — type page ranges like “1-3, 8”.
Can I use an image or logo as a watermark?
Use the PDF editor’s Image tool to place a logo on pages.
Is Watermark PDF on ActuallyFreeTools really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no daily limit, no watermark and no paid tier. Nothing is held back for paying users.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Watermark PDF runs inside your browser, so your files are processed on your own device and never sent to a server. That is also why there is nothing to meter or charge for.
