Frequently Asked Questions

Does the watermark appear on every page?

Yes. The watermark is stamped in the center of every page of the document with the same text, angle, opacity, and color, so a "DRAFT" or "CONFIDENTIAL" label can't be missed on any page.

Will the watermark cover up my document's text?

Not if you use a sensible opacity. The default 30% opacity makes the watermark clearly visible while the content underneath stays readable. Use the live preview to fine-tune opacity and font size before downloading.

Can the watermark be removed later?

The watermark becomes part of the page content of the downloaded copy, so casual viewers can't toggle it off. Like any PDF watermark, though, it isn't cryptographic protection — someone with editing software and effort could remove it. Keep your un-watermarked original as the master copy.

Can I watermark many PDFs at once?

Yes — Pro users can drop multiple PDFs at once and apply the same watermark to all of them in a single batch, downloaded together as a ZIP. Free users can watermark files one at a time.
