When to Watermark PDFs on iPad
Stamping "DRAFT" on a proposal before sharing for review while working from an iPad. Adding a company logo watermark to a client deliverable assembled on iPad. Marking "CONFIDENTIAL" on a sensitive document before emailing from your iPad.
How to Watermark on iPad
Open Safari on your iPad. Navigate to fixmypdf.in/tools/watermark-pdf. Tap "Choose File" and select your PDF from Files or iCloud Drive. Type the watermark text (or upload a PNG logo). Set opacity and position. Tap "Apply Watermark". Download.
Text Watermarks on iPad
Type your watermark text in the input field (DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, your company name). Choose font size using the slider. Set rotation to 45° for a diagonal stamp across the page. Set opacity to 30–40% for a professional appearance that doesn't obscure the content.
Uploading a Logo for Image Watermarking
Tap the image upload button and select a PNG file from your Files app. If your company logo is in iCloud Drive, access it directly from the iCloud section in the file picker. The PNG should have a transparent background for clean overlay on any PDF background.
iPad Split View Workflow
Use iPad Split View: Files app on one side, Safari with FixMyPDF on the other. Drag PDF files from Files into the browser upload area. This is faster than switching between apps for each document. Available on iPad Air and iPad Pro.
Saving the Watermarked PDF
After downloading, the watermarked PDF saves to your Safari Downloads folder in Files. Share via AirDrop to a Mac, send via Mail, or upload to Google Drive. The watermark is embedded permanently in the file.
Privacy
Watermarking runs locally in Safari on your iPad. Business documents, client proposals, and confidential files are never transmitted to external servers.
