FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Upload PNG, JPG, or WEBP images (like your logo) and scale them to fit your document.
Yes. You can choose to apply the watermark to all pages, only the first page, or a specific page range. This is useful when you want a DRAFT stamp only on the cover page, or when you need to mark only certain sections. If you need to split the document into sections before watermarking specific pages, use the PDF Splitter first, watermark each section separately, then recombine them with the PDF Merger.
Adding a watermark embeds the mark directly into the PDF content. It cannot be removed without specialized software: which is the point for protection.
Yes. The opacity slider lets you set the watermark from nearly invisible to fully opaque, so it doesn't obscure your document content.
