Adding text to every page is useful for marking a document as a draft, confidential, or a copy, or for adding a name and date to a set of pages. Doing it by hand on each page would take a long time, and a stamp applied once to all pages is consistent. The text is added as part of the PDF, so it will show when the file is opened or printed.
Keep the stamp text short and readable, and choose a position that does not cover important content. A diagonal stamp across the middle is hard to miss but can hide text, while a stamp in a corner is less intrusive. Check one page before you download the whole file.
Privacy: this tool runs entirely in your browser — no upload, no signup, and your files never leave your device.
Stamp the same text on every page — CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, your name or a date. A light diagonal watermark or clean text at the bottom, as you prefer.

Frequently asked questions
What text should I stamp on a confidential PDF?
A short word such as CONFIDENTIAL, plus a name or date if that helps identify the copy, is usually enough. Keep it short so it stays readable and does not cover the content of the pages.
Can I stamp text on only one page?
This tool adds the text to every page of the PDF you choose. For a single page, split that page out first, stamp it, and then merge the document again if you need the full file back.
Will the stamped text show when the PDF is printed?
Yes. The text becomes part of the PDF pages, so it shows on screen and in print, in the position and style you chose.
Is my PDF uploaded when I add text to it?
No. Stamping happens in your browser only. The file never leaves your device, and nothing is saved after you close the page.
