Frequently Asked Questions

How do I put a watermark on a PDF?

Drop your PDF above, type the watermark text (or pick CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, COPY or SAMPLE), adjust size, color, transparency and angle while watching the live preview, then click Watermark & download.

Can the watermark repeat across the page?

Yes. Choose "Tiled" to repeat the text in a staggered pattern across the whole page, which makes it much harder to crop out than a single centered watermark.

Will the text under the watermark still be readable?

Yes, at the default 25% opacity the page stays readable. Lower the opacity for a subtler mark or raise it for a bolder one.

Can a watermark be removed?

A determined person with a PDF editor can remove any watermark that is added to a PDF, including ones from paid tools. For stronger protection, combine a tiled watermark with a password using Protect PDF.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The watermark is added in your browser and your file never leaves your device.
