When to watermark

A watermark is the simplest way to mark a document as DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, PAID or to add your company logo across every page.

Text vs image

  • Text watermark — fast, scales to any page size, supports rotation and opacity.
  • Image watermark — best for logos with transparent backgrounds (PNG).

How to add

  1. Open Watermark PDF.
  2. Upload your PDF.
  3. Type your text (e.g. CONFIDENTIAL) or upload a logo.
  4. Adjust opacity, angle and position.
  5. Click Apply and download.

Tips

  • Use 30% opacity so the underlying content stays readable.
  • A diagonal angle of 30°–45° looks more intentional than 0° or 90°.
  • For client deliverables, place a small logo in the corner instead of a giant overlay.
