Add Watermarks to a PDF without Uploading

Use the Watermark PDF tool to stamp CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, FILED, PAID, or your own language across exhibits without exposing them to third-party servers.

Need a diagonal CONFIDENTIAL label right now? Launch the Watermark PDF tool and drop in your filing.

Pick a preset or enter custom text

  • Quick buttons fill in court-friendly presets like CONFIDENTIAL or DRAFT.
  • Custom text supports any string—case captions, protective order IDs, or reviewer initials.
  • Watermarks are embedded with pdf-lib so they travel with the document.

Control position, size, opacity, and color

The control panel lets you decide exactly how the watermark looks:

  • Position — Diagonal across the page, top-center, center, or bottom-center.
  • Font size — Slide from 24px up to 120px to match letter or legal paper.
  • Opacity — Choose 10–60% transparency so signatures stay readable.
  • Color — Switch between black, gray, or red to match court preferences.

Target specific page ranges

Only watermark the sections you need:

  1. Leave the range blank to cover every page.
  2. Enter values like 1-3, 6 to mark only pleadings while leaving exhibits untouched.
  3. Combine with the Split PDF tool if you need to separate sections before marking.

Download stays private

Everything runs locally:

  • The tool reads your PDF in memory—no uploads.
  • The exported file is named watermark-[original]-courtpdf.pdf for easy tracking.
  • Combine with Reorder PDF Pages or Flatten PDFto finalize the packet before filing.
