Why Use QuickPDFify to Watermark PDFs?

Online watermark tools often upload your documents to a server, compromising privacy. QuickPDFify uses pdf-lib to add watermarks entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device — 100% private and secure.

Custom Text

Add any text watermark up to 50 characters — "Confidential", "Draft", "Sample", or your own custom message.

Color Options

Choose from Gray, Red, or Blue watermark colors. Pick the shade that best suits your document and brand.

Full Control

Adjust opacity (10–100%), rotation, text size, and position (center or diagonal) for the perfect watermark.

No Server Upload

Everything runs locally with pdf-lib. Your PDF stays on your computer — no server, no upload, no privacy risk.

Use Cases

QuickPDFify is ideal for marking internal documents as "Confidential", labeling drafts with "Draft" watermarks, tagging samples as "Sample", or protecting intellectual property from unauthorized distribution. Whether you're a legal professional, designer, or content creator, adding a watermark gives you a simple layer of document protection.

How It Works

  1. Upload — Select a PDF file (up to 50 MB) from your device or drag and drop it into the upload area.
  2. Customize — Enter your watermark text, choose a color, adjust opacity, rotation, size, and position.
  3. Name — Enter your preferred output filename (defaults to "watermarked").
  4. Download — Click "Add Watermark" and pdf-lib processes your document instantly. The protected PDF downloads automatically.
