Why batch-watermark PDFs

Stamp the same watermark across a whole folder of PDFs in one run.

One mark, every file

Apply the same text or image watermark to every page of every PDF in the folder — no opening files one by one.

Consistent placement

Set the position, size, opacity, and angle once and it lands identically across the whole batch.

One ZIP back

All watermarked PDFs come back in a single ZIP, ready to share or archive.

Batch watermark PDFs — FAQ

How do I watermark a whole folder of PDFs at once?

Drag a folder (or several PDFs) onto the upload box, or click to pick files. Type your watermark text — for example CONFIDENTIAL — then click "Apply to all". Each PDF is stamped one by one, and when it finishes you click "Download ZIP" to get every watermarked file in a single archive. If you dropped a folder, any non-PDF files inside it are filtered out automatically, so you don't have to clean the folder first.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Every PDF is processed entirely in your browser, on your own device — nothing is uploaded to any server, and there's no account or sign-in. Your documents never leave your computer, which is exactly why it's safe for confidential files.

What do I get back, and how are the files named?

You get one ZIP file (dockdocs-batch.zip) containing all the watermarked PDFs. Each output keeps its original name with a "-watermarked.pdf" suffix — so report.pdf becomes report-watermarked.pdf. Your original files are left untouched.

Is there a limit on how many PDFs I can do at once?

This batch tool processes up to 30 PDFs per run. If you add more, only the first 30 are kept. There's no fixed file-size cap — since everything runs in your browser, the real limit is your device's memory, so very large files or weak machines will simply be slower. For a bigger job, split it into batches of 30.

Is it free? Does it add its own watermark or branding?

Yes, it's completely free with no signup, no trial, and no usage limits beyond the 30-files-per-run batch size. The only watermark on your PDFs is the text you type — DockDocs never stamps its own logo or branding onto your files.

Can I choose where the watermark goes or how transparent it is?

Not in the batch tool. It uses a fixed default placement — a diagonal watermark across each page — to keep the whole folder consistent. If you need a custom position, opacity, or font size, use the single-file Watermark tool instead, which gives you full control over one document at a time.

Don't take our word for it — verify it

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device — it isn't uploaded to any server.

Check for yourself: open your browser's developer tools (F12, or right-click → Inspect) → the Network tab → then run this tool. You won't see your file uploaded anywhere, because the work happens locally on your device.
