Stamp DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL or your own text diagonally across every page, with adjustable size and opacity.
Mark drafts, confidential files or client copies with a diagonal text watermark. Adjust opacity and size so the page stays readable while the message is unmistakable.
What people use it for
- Mark a contract as DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL.
- Discourage reuse of a proposal sent to a client.
- Label internal versions of documents.
Tips for best results
- Lower the opacity so the page stays readable.
- Chinese, Cyrillic and other scripts are supported.
- Watermarks are visual only; use Protect PDF for access control.
Your files never leave your device
Unlike most online PDF tools, Intelli File does not upload your documents to a server. Everything runs in your browser using your own device, so contracts, IDs and financial records stay private. Only a small usage counter is sent so we can apply daily limits.
