A watermark stamps text — like DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, or your company name — across every page, with control over opacity, angle, and position so it's visible without burying the content.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make the watermark semi-transparent?
Yes. The opacity control lets you fade it so the document underneath stays readable.
Can I angle the text diagonally?
Yes. Set any rotation angle — a 45° diagonal is the classic “DRAFT” look.
Does the watermark apply to every page?
Yes, it's stamped across all pages so no page is left unmarked.
Can the watermark be removed later?
Once applied and downloaded, the text is part of the page content, so treat it as permanent. Keep your original if you'll need an unmarked copy.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Watermarking happens locally in your browser.
