File Converts adds text watermarks locally with pdf-lib. Set the text, opacity, and a diagonal or horizontal placement, then download. Because it runs on your device, sensitive documents are never uploaded.

  • Branding a PDF with your name or company across every page

Good to know

Stamps a text watermark across the pages of a PDF and saves a new copy — all on your device, nothing uploaded. It overlays text (like DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL); it doesn't encrypt or lock the file. To password-protect it instead, use Protect PDF. Your original stays untouched.
