Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The watermark is applied locally in your browser and the protected PDF is generated on your device.
What can I customize in the watermark?
You can set the watermark text and fine-tune the font size, opacity, rotation, and color until it looks right on your pages.
Is the watermark applied to every page?
Yes. The watermark is stamped on all pages of the PDF so the whole document is protected uniformly.
Can the watermark be removed later?
No. The watermark is baked into the page content itself, not added as a removable overlay, which makes it an effective deterrent.
Do I need an account to add a watermark?
No. The tool is free and requires no registration, and your file never leaves your browser.
