FAQ
Is the watermark added to every page?
Yes, the watermark is applied to all pages of the document simultaneously.
Can I remove the watermark after adding it?
The watermark is embedded into the PDF and cannot be easily removed without specialized software. Keep a copy of the original before watermarking.
How do I make the watermark semi-transparent?
Use the opacity setting: 20–40% gives a subtle background mark, while 80–100% makes it clearly visible.
What text should I use for a watermark?
Popular choices include 'Confidential', 'Draft', 'Sample', your company name, or the recipient's name.
Will the document quality be affected?
No. Text content and images remain unchanged — the watermark is added as a separate layer on top of each page.
