About Dudi Watermark PDF Tool

Dudi Watermark PDF is a fast, 100% free, browser-based tool from Dudi PDF Editor that adds professional text or image watermarks to any PDF document in seconds. Whether you are marking a draft as CONFIDENTIAL, stamping your company logo onto proposals, protecting your portfolio images from theft, branding shared documents, or warning readers that a file is not final, this tool does it all without installing software, creating an account, verifying an email or paying any hidden fee. Unlike most online PDF watermarkers, your file is never uploaded to a remote server. The entire process runs inside your browser using the pdf-lib JavaScript library — your PDF is read from your device, the watermark is drawn on top of each page, and the finished file stays on your device until you press the Download button. That means your confidential reports, legal documents, academic papers, invoices and internal company files never leave your computer or phone. There is no signup, no watermark added by us, no daily limit and no page-count restriction beyond your device's memory. Dudi Watermark PDF supports two watermark types. Text watermarks let you type any phrase — CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, COPY, VOID, SAMPLE, or your own company name — and pick from Helvetica, Courier or Times Roman fonts, any colour, and any size. Image watermarks let you upload your company logo or a custom design in PNG or JPEG format, with a transparent PNG looking the most professional. Both types give you full control over the appearance: opacity from 5 to 100 percent so the watermark can be subtle or bold, rotation from minus 90 to plus 90 degrees with a diagonal look being the most common, size from 20 to 150, and position — centre for a single diagonal mark, tile for a repeated grid that is very hard to remove or crop out, top for a header-style stamp, or bottom for a footer-style stamp. You can also choose which pages receive the watermark: all pages, first page only, last page only, odd pages only, or even pages only, which is handy for books and long reports. A live preview box shows exactly how the watermark will look before you apply it, so you can fine-tune the settings without guesswork. All watermarks are drawn as vector text or embedded images layered on top of the existing page, so the original content of your PDF — text, images, charts, signatures and annotations — is never re-encoded or re-compressed, and quality is fully preserved. The output opens correctly in Adobe Acrobat, Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox and every common PDF reader. Because the tool never downloads automatically, nothing is saved to your disk until you choose it: after the watermark is applied, a Download button appears and you decide when to save the file. The downloaded file is always named Dudi PDF Editor Watermark PDF.pdf, and if you watermark another file in the same session it becomes Dudi PDF Editor Watermark PDF (2).pdf and so on, so your files stay clearly identifiable. The layout is fully responsive, so the tab switcher, sliders, preview box and action buttons all stay easy to use on a small Android phone as well as on a large desktop monitor. After the first page load the libraries are cached, so the tool often keeps working even on a weak connection. If you need more tools, Dudi PDF Editor also offers Merge PDF, Split PDF, Compress PDF, Rotate PDF, PDF Page Numbers, Sign PDF, Protect PDF, Unlock PDF, Word to PDF, JPG to PDF, editing, cropping, OCR, image conversion and many other privacy-first utilities that all run locally in your browser with the same no-upload guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions — Dudi Watermark PDF

What types of watermarks can I add?
Dudi Watermark PDF supports two types: text watermarks — type any phrase such as CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, COPY, or your company name — and image watermarks — upload a logo or custom design as PNG or JPG. Both can be customised with opacity, rotation, size and position. Text watermarks stay sharp at any size because they are drawn as vector text.
Can I control the watermark appearance?
Absolutely. Dudi Watermark PDF gives you full control over opacity (5–100%), rotation (-90° to 90°, with diagonal being the most common), size (20–150), font (Helvetica, Courier or Times Roman for text), colour (for text watermarks), and position (centre diagonal, tile, top or bottom). The live preview box shows exactly how the watermark will look before you apply it.
What is the tile / repeated option?
The tile position covers the whole page with a repeating grid of the watermark, which makes it very hard to remove or crop out — ideal for highly sensitive documents where you want maximum protection. Dudi Watermark PDF automatically calculates spacing based on the watermark size and rotation. The other positions — centre, top and bottom — place a single watermark in that location.
Can I apply the watermark to specific pages?
Yes. Dudi Watermark PDF lets you choose all pages (default), first page only (common for cover pages), last page only, odd pages only, or even pages only. This flexibility is perfect for documents where you want the watermark on content pages but not on a title page, an index, or blank pages at the end.
Will the watermark affect my PDF quality?
No. Watermarks in Dudi Watermark PDF are added as vector elements (for text) or embedded images (for image watermarks) without re-encoding the original PDF content. The existing text, images and formatting stay completely untouched — the watermark is simply layered on top of each page, so there is zero quality loss.
Does the file download automatically?
No. Dudi PDF Editor never downloads automatically. After you click Add Watermark, the tool processes the document and then shows a Download PDF button. Nothing is written to your disk until you click that button, so you never get an unexpected download popup and you can check the preview first.
What will the downloaded file be named?
Every watermarked PDF is saved as Dudi PDF Editor Watermark PDF.pdf. If you watermark another file in the same session, the next one becomes Dudi PDF Editor Watermark PDF (2).pdf, then (3), and so on. This keeps your watermarked files clearly identifiable.
Are my files safe and private?
100% safe. All watermarking happens locally in your browser using JavaScript and the pdf-lib library. Your PDF files are never uploaded to any server or third party — Dudi PDF Editor cannot see them. Everything processes on your device, which makes this tool ideal for adding watermarks to sensitive business reports, legal documents and academic papers.
What is the maximum file size?
Dudi Watermark PDF handles PDFs of many sizes. For best performance we recommend files up to about 100 MB. Larger files or documents with hundreds of pages may take a little longer to process depending on your device's memory and processing power.
Is Dudi Watermark PDF free, and does it work on mobile?
Yes. Dudi Watermark PDF is 100% free with no hidden charges, no subscription, no signup and no watermark added by us. The tool is fully responsive and works on smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktops — Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux — with any modern web browser.
