Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about adding watermarks to PDF files online

Simply upload your PDF to our tool, choose between text or image watermark, customize the position and opacity, and click 'Apply Watermark'. Your watermarked PDF downloads automatically. No software installation or account required.
Yes! Upload a PNG or JPG image of your logo. For best results, use a PNG with transparent background. Adjust the scale and opacity to make it subtle or prominent based on your needs.
Diagonal places one watermark at a 45-degree angle across the center of each page. Tile repeats the watermark in a pattern covering the entire page, which is more effective for preventing screenshot-based copying.
No, our watermark is added as an overlay and doesn't affect the underlying text. Your PDF remains fully searchable and text can still be selected and copied (unless you also protect the PDF).
No! All watermarking is done directly in your browser using client-side processing. Your PDF never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
Once a watermark is embedded and saved, it becomes a permanent part of the PDF. We recommend keeping your original file as a backup before watermarking.
