How to Watermark PDFs as a Freelancer

Add "Draft", "Proposal", or copyright watermarks to freelance documents. Free browser tool.

Freelancers use watermarks on portfolios and design proposals to protect creative work before clients confirm payment. FixMyPDF adds them instantly.

Open the Watermark Tool

Go to fixmypdf.in/tools/watermark-pdf in any browser.

Upload Your Portfolio or Proposal

Select the design portfolio, proposal, or creative deliverable PDF.

Add a Watermark

Enter "DRAFT", "PROPOSAL", "NOT FOR USE", or your name. Use 30-40% opacity for visibility without obscuring the content.

Send to Prospective Client

Download the watermarked PDF and send it for review. Remove the watermark from the final file once the client confirms and pays.

Protecting Creative Work

A watermarked portfolio prevents clients from using your designs as reference for other designers without compensation. Standard practice for designers, illustrators, and web designers.
