PDF Background

The PDF Background tool composites a custom background layer behind the existing content of every page in a PDF document, supporting solid colors, JPEG/PNG images, and PDF template files as background sources. Adding branded backgrounds, letterhead, or security patterns to PDFs is standard practice in corporate communications, certificate generation, and confidential document marking. The opacity slider lets you create subtle watermark-style effects or bold full-opacity backgrounds. Your files never leave the browser during processing.

How to Use

Upload your foreground PDF, then choose a background type: solid color (pick any hex color), image (JPEG or PNG up to 10 MB), or PDF template. For image and PDF backgrounds, adjust the opacity slider (0-100%) for the desired transparency effect. Optionally restrict the background to a specific page range. Click Apply Background to composite the layers and download the resulting PDF.
