Watermarks exist to make a free tool useless enough that you pay. This has none, because there is no paid tier to push you towards — the work happens on your device, so it costs nothing to run.

Why uploads get rejected
Meeting the size is only part of it. These are the failures that actually come up:
- You need to remove a watermark someone else put on a PDF — that is a different problem, and often a copyright one.
- The PDF is password-protected.
How it works
Your PDF is read into memory in the browser and edited with pdf-lib, which modifies the document's object structure directly. Adding text creates a new text object on the page you name, at the position you give as a percentage of page width and height — percentages rather than points, so the same settings work whether the page is A4, Letter or an odd scanned size.
Because the existing page objects are copied rather than re-rendered, the rest of the document is untouched: existing text stays selectable, images keep their original quality, and the file size barely moves.
There is no upload, no account and no watermark, and those three facts are connected. Editors that process files on a server carry a real running cost, which the free tier exists to recover — hence watermarks, page caps and sign-up walls. Running the work on your own device costs us nothing per file, so there is nothing to gate.
Who uses this

Frequently asked questions
Why do other PDF editors add watermarks?
They run the conversion on their servers, which costs money, so the free tier is deliberately limited to sell the paid one. This tool runs in your browser, so there is no server bill and no reason to degrade the output.
Can this remove a watermark from a PDF?
No. Removing a watermark someone else applied usually means altering a document you do not own, and often means removing a copyright notice. That is not something this site does.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs inside your browser on your own device. Your file is never transmitted and never stored by us. You can confirm it by opening your browser's Network tab while you use the tool — you will see no upload request.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The interface adapts to phone and tablet screens and everything runs in the browser, so there is no app to install.
