How to: step-by-step

  1. Select the PDF and enter the watermark text or choose an available watermark option.
  2. Adjust placement, size, colour and opacity.
  3. Apply the watermark to the chosen pages.
  4. Download and check both busy and mostly blank pages for readability.

Tips for better results

  • Use a light watermark behind dense content.
  • Check the longest line and smallest page before sharing.

Common pitfalls

  • A dark or oversized mark can hide the actual document.
  • A watermark is not password protection or a guarantee against copying.

Before you finish

Keep an unmarked original; removing a watermark later is not guaranteed.
