To add a watermark to a PDF, open it in DollarFix PDF's browser editor, pick the watermark tool, type your text and set the size, opacity, angle and colour — it is stamped on every page in one pass. Editing and previewing are free; downloading the finished PDF costs $1 once, and the file never leaves your device.

A watermark answers a question before anyone asks it: is this the final version, can I share it, who does it belong to? DollarFix PDF stamps a text watermark — DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, your company name, anything you type — across every page of the document. The whole job happens inside your browser tab. The PDF is never sent to a server, which matters when the file you're marking as confidential actually is confidential.

You control how loud the stamp is. Set the font size, the opacity, the angle and the colour: a huge pale grey SAMPLE tilted at 45 degrees that sits quietly behind the content, or a small solid red DO NOT DISTRIBUTE that nobody can pretend they missed. Whatever you choose is applied to every page in one pass, so a 60-page contract gets exactly the same treatment as a one-page invoice.

Everything up to the last click is free — open the file, place the watermark, preview it on the real pages, change your mind, try a different angle. When it looks right, downloading the watermarked PDF costs $1, once. No subscription starts, no account is created, and there is no page count or file size ceiling to trip over — one price covers the whole document.

The same editor covers the two jobs that usually travel with watermarking. It can add page numbers in the footer while you're at it, and — a request we hear surprisingly often — it can also remove a watermark from a PDF you've received, using a smart remove tool that lifts the stamp off the page. Mark your own documents, clean up the ones sent to you.

Frequently asked questions

Is adding a watermark to a PDF free?
Placing and previewing the watermark costs nothing. The only charge is $1, paid once, when you download the finished file — no subscription and no account behind it.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The editor runs entirely in your browser tab; the document never leaves your computer before, during or after watermarking.
Are there page, size or daily limits?
None. Watermark a 2-page memo or a 500-page manual, as many documents as you like — the tool has no caps and the price doesn't change.
Can I control how the watermark looks?
Yes — you set the text, font size, opacity, angle and colour. A faint diagonal grey stamp and a bold horizontal red one are both a few sliders away.
Does the watermark appear on every page?
Yes. The stamp is applied to all pages in one pass with identical position and styling, so long documents stay consistent.
Can I use a logo or image as the watermark?
The watermark tool stamps text. If you need a logo on a page, place it with the image tool — the automatic every-page stamp is text-based.
Can DollarFix remove a watermark instead of adding one?
Yes — the editor includes a smart remove tool that lifts an existing watermark off the pages, useful for cleaning up a PDF someone else stamped.
