Terms of use

You may use this service free of charge to watermark documents you have the right to process, subject to the free-tier limits: six files a day, up to 100 MB and 300 pages each. You keep full ownership of your documents - we claim no rights over them beyond the licence needed to run the job you asked for - and you agree not to use the service for unlawful content or to disrupt it for others.

What you may do

  • Watermark documents you own or have the right to process
  • Use every style, colour, opacity and page-range control, free of charge
  • Use the output for personal and internal business purposes
  • Link to our pages and quote them with attribution

What you must not do

  • Process content you have no right to process, including other people's private documents
  • Use the output to impersonate, defraud or mislead

  • Probe, disrupt or overload the service, or attempt to access other users' files
  • Resell the service as your own, or rebrand the output as a competing product

Ownership and responsibility

Your documents remain yours. The only right we need is the licence to read, process and write the file you submitted, for as long as the job takes - and that licence ends when the file is deleted. The watermarked output is yours too.

The service is provided as it is. We aim for it to be accurate and available, but we do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or that the output will be suitable for a particular purpose. You are responsible for checking the result before you rely on it - particularly for printed or contractual documents.

Frequently asked questions

Who owns the watermarked PDF?

You do. The service claims no rights over your document or the output; the only licence we hold is the one needed to process the file you submitted, and it ends when the file is deleted.

What happens if I hit the daily limit?

The limit resets after 24 hours and the tool tells you how long is left. The free tier allows six files a day so the service can stay free and fast; if you need more, splitting the work across days is the free option.

Can I use the output commercially?

The free tier covers personal and internal business use - marking your own invoices, reports and drawings. If you watermark documents as a service for clients, that is commercial use of the tool itself, and the paid terms cover it.

Can these terms change?

Yes, and the current version always lives on this page with its date. Changes that affect limits or acceptable use will be reflected here; continuing to use the service after a change means accepting it.

policy Privacy We collect one thing that matters: the PDF you upload, and only so it can be watermarked. It is stored in a private directory under a random name, deleted automatically within 60 minutes whether or not you download the result, and never shared, sold, analysed or used to train anything. No account, no email address, no cookies, and no document content in our logs. policy Security A file-processing service faces untrusted uploads, hostile filenames, resource exhaustion and the usual web attacks, so the defence here is layered: every PDF is structurally validated before a byte is processed, files are stored under random names that no user input can influence, state-changing requests require a token, security headers are set on every response, and a bounded job queue means the worst case is a polite 'we are busy' rather than a collapse. policy Pricing Using this tool costs nothing and requires no card: six files a day, up to 100 MB and 300 pages each, with every watermark style, colour, opacity and page range available and nothing stamped onto your output. Paid plans for higher volume and batch processing are designed but not yet on sale, and this page lists them as a plan rather than a product you can buy today. tool Watermark a PDF Upload a PDF, choose one of five watermark styles and download the marked copy. The job takes about a minute, needs no account and nothing to install, and the file you upload is deleted from our servers automatically within the hour. Text, logo, confidential, draft and footer marks are all covered, and the free tier accepts files up to 100 MB and 300 pages. hub Guides Every guide here opens with the direct answer, then gives numbered steps and the settings that hold up in practice, so you can finish the job instead of researching it. Start with how to watermark a PDF, then follow the guide for your device or for the kind of document you are marking. hub Watermark types There are five watermark styles, and each one solves a different problem: a diagonal mark announces a status, a background mark brands without interrupting the text, a footer line identifies the source quietly, an image watermark puts a logo or stamp on the page, and a tiled pattern repeats across the sheet so it cannot easily be cropped away. Pick the job first, and the style follows.
