Image watermark
Position
"Behind" won't be visible on pages with an opaque background rectangle covering the whole page — this is a common source of confusion.

ToolAdda's add watermark to PDF tool lets you stamp CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, custom text, or your company logo onto any PDF — tiled diagonally or placed once — with full control over opacity, rotation, font, and page selection. Everything runs in your browser with no upload.
Upload your PDF, enter watermark text or upload a logo, adjust opacity and position in the live preview, and download — all in your browser with no server upload.
A standard watermark is part of the PDF content and can be removed by someone with the right tools — it's a visual deterrent, not security. For a much harder-to-remove result, use the flatten-to-image option, which rasterizes the page (at the cost of making the original text unselectable).
Yes — a scanned PDF is just page images, and the watermark is drawn on top of (or behind) whatever is already on the page, so it works the same way.
Yes — upload a PNG (transparency is preserved) or JPG on the Image Watermark tab, then adjust its scale, opacity, rotation, and position.
Yes, by default. This tool draws the watermark as real vector text/image content using pdf-lib, without rasterizing your pages, so all original text remains selectable and searchable — unless you specifically turn on the flatten-to-image option.
No. All watermarking happens locally in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.
