Marking a document as a draft or a copy takes one line of text laid over the page. Type the wording in Latin letters, decide how big, how faint and how steep it sits, then tick the pages that should carry it. The stamp is drawn in this browser tab, so the PDF itself is never uploaded.
The text is drawn onto the pages on your own machine, inside this tab. A contract or payslip you are marking as a draft is never sent to our servers.
Type what the page should say: DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, a client name, a date. It is a single bold line in Latin letters and digits, so keep it short enough to sit inside the page.
Set the type size, the tilt and how strongly the stamp shows. It starts at 42 point, tipped back 28 degrees and deliberately faint at 0.18 opacity.
Drop the file onto the tool or browse for it. The pages come up as thumbnails, and that is where you pick the ones to stamp.
Replace the default wording, then adjust size, opacity and rotation. Tick the pages that should be stamped; every page you leave unticked stays as it was.
Download the result. Any change to the text or the number fields stamps again and refreshes the preview of the finished file, so try a fainter or steeper setting first.
Not here. This tool draws text only, one line per page, and there is no image or logo upload, so a graphic stamp cannot be placed on the page from this screen.
No, the colour is fixed to the app's green. What you can change is how strongly it shows: opacity runs from 0 to 1 and sits at 0.18 by default, which keeps the text underneath readable.
No. One line is drawn near the middle of each page, over the content: there is no corner placement, no tiled repeat and no behind-content option. Rotation and size are what decide how it falls across the page.
Yes. Pages are individually selectable, so you can stamp a cover sheet, one appendix, or the whole document. Untick anything that should stay clean and only the selected pages get the text.
This tool adds one, it does not take one away. Once you save, the text is part of the page drawing rather than a separate layer, so keep your original if you will need a clean copy later.
The built-in font covers the standard Latin set. Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic or Devanagari characters stop the run with a processing error, so write the stamp in Latin letters, digits and basic punctuation.
The PDF is read and rewritten inside your browser and is never sent to our servers; the app has no upload path at all. The only mark added is the line you typed, and no account is needed to run it.
Try this tool with a sample, or upgrade to use your own files.
