Do I need to install software to add a watermark to a PDF?
Updated July 2026
No. You add a watermark to a PDF entirely in the browser — there is nothing to download or install. Adding a watermark stamps text or an image — like DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL — across every page at the opacity and angle you choose.
