Frequently Asked Questions

Does adding a watermark modify the underlying text and images in my PDF?

No, the watermark is cleanly layered into the PDF document stream without rasterizing or degrading your existing text, fonts, or vector graphics.

Can I make the watermark semi-transparent so the page text remains readable?

Yes! Use the opacity slider to adjust transparency from 10% faint background marks up to 100% solid stamps.

Can I watermark multi-page documents?

Yes, you can apply your watermark across all pages simultaneously or designate custom page numbers and ranges.

Are my PDF documents kept private and secure?

Absolutely. All watermark rendering and PDF generation happen directly inside your web browser without uploading anything to a remote server.
