Why use this tool

Common use cases

Frequently asked questions

Can I control how visible the watermark is?

Yes - adjust the opacity slider so the watermark is subtle or bold, depending on how much it should stand out.

Does the watermark cover my document's content?

The watermark is placed with adjustable transparency specifically so the original text and images underneath stay readable.

Can I add an image or logo as a watermark instead of text?

This tool currently supports text watermarks only. For a logo, consider Edit PDF's tools for placing custom elements on a page.
