Before you begin
A few useful answers before you start.
Can I watermark only selected pages?
Yes. Set the page range before applying the watermark and review the exported PDF.
Can I use text or an image as a watermark?
Yes. Add your watermark text or choose an image, then adjust the position, opacity, and rotation. Check that the result does not hide important document content.
Does a watermark password-protect my PDF?
No. A watermark adds visible content to pages. Use Protect PDF separately if you need a password-protected copy.
Are my PDF and watermark image uploaded?
No. Watermark placement and PDF generation run locally in your browser. Your original PDF is not overwritten.
