Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use an image watermark?

Currently, this tool supports text watermarks. For logos, try our "Edit PDF" or "Sign PDF" tools to place an image.

Is the watermark removable?

It is embedded into the page content. While editable with advanced software, it is difficult to remove casually.

Understanding Add Watermark

A watermark is simply a semi-transparent text layer drawn on top of the existing PDF page content using the PDF drawing operators.

Why Add Watermark Matters

Prevents unauthorized use and clearly indicates the status of a document (e.g., "Do Not Copy").

Limitations of Add Watermark

While this tool is useful, keep in mind:

  • Cannot place watermark behind existing text (layering limitations).
  • Text only (no images yet).
