FAQ

Watermark PDF FAQ

Can I use both text and images as watermarks?

Yes. You can add a text watermark or use an image watermark, depending on the document. Text is useful for labels such as draft, confidential, or internal review. Image watermarks work better for logos or stamps. Always preview opacity and placement before exporting inside the browser.

Can I add a watermark to only certain pages?

Yes. You can apply the watermark to the whole file, the first page, or a custom page range. This is helpful when only cover pages, appendices, or review copies need a mark. Check the exported file so the watermark lands on the intended pages only.

Does the original document get uploaded during this process?

No. Preview and export both happen in the browser. The source PDF is read from your device, the watermark is applied locally, and the new copy downloads back to you. A simple watermarking task should not require placing the whole document in a server queue.

Is a watermark the same as protection?

No. A watermark is a visible label, not access control. It can discourage misuse or make a copy easier to identify, but it does not encrypt the PDF or stop someone from sharing it. Use password protection when the file also needs an access barrier.

What should I check before sharing a watermarked PDF?

Open the exported file and check readability, opacity, page range, and placement. A watermark should not cover signatures, totals, QR codes, stamps, or key form fields. If the document will be printed, test a page first because screen opacity and print contrast can feel different.
