A watermark marks a document as yours, or marks it as not final. Doclium stamps your text diagonally across every page as real page content, not as an annotation a reader can delete in two clicks.

  2. 2Type the text and pick a colour and strength.
  3. 3Download the watermarked document.

Questions people ask

Can the watermark be removed?

Not by clicking it. It is drawn into the page rather than added as an annotation, which readers can delete outright. Anyone determined enough can edit any PDF, but this survives ordinary use.

Will it cover my text?

It is drawn semi-transparent, so the page stays readable. You choose the strength.

Does Doclium add its own watermark?

No. The only text on your document is yours.

The PDF toolkit that reads your documents too

Doclium is a free web app for working with PDFs: merge, split, compress, rotate, protect and convert them in your browser, with no install and no signup to start. Where most PDF tools stop at the file, Doclium also reads it — ask a question and get an answer that cites the page it came from, so you can check it.

Chat with a PDF, summarise a long report, or translate one into another language. Clean documents up with OCR, redaction, watermarks, headers and footers, page numbers and A4 or Letter resizing. Every change can be undone, and every export is previewed before it downloads.

Private by default Your library is yours alone. Documents are scoped to your account or device and are never readable by another user.
HTTPS everywhere All traffic is encrypted in transit with TLS. Your files are not used to train AI models.
Answers with citations The assistant quotes the passage and page behind each answer, so nothing has to be taken on trust.
