Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, it is completely secure. Our tool processes your PDF entirely within your own web browser. Your document is never uploaded, stored, or processed on our servers, ensuring your sensitive data remains 100% private.
Simply upload your file, select the Text tab, and type your desired phrase. You can choose from standard PDF fonts (Helvetica, Times, Courier), adjust the color using HEX codes, and rotate the text diagonally across the page.
Absolutely. Switch to the Image tab to upload your logo. The tool supports PNG, JPG, and WebP formats. We highly recommend using a PNG file with a transparent background for the most professional result.

You can visually drag and drop the watermark anywhere on the Live Preview canvas. For perfect alignment, use our built-in Position Grid in the settings panel to instantly snap the watermark to the exact center, corners, or edges of the document.
Yes! Under the "Apply To" settings menu, you can choose to watermark All Pages, the First Page, the Last Page, Odd/Even pages, or type in a Custom Range (for example, "1-3, 5, 10").
Not at all. Our tool uses advanced PDF-rendering to natively embed the watermark as a new layer. This means your original text vectors, image quality, and layout remain exactly as they were without any blurry rasterization.
Our Advanced Watermark tool is 100% free to use with no hidden fees or account registration required. We also never force our own logos or branding onto your finalized documents.
Why Watermark Your PDF Files?
Protect Intellectual Property
Prevent unauthorized sharing or theft of your original work, e-books, portfolios, and artwork by applying a transparent logo or copyright text.
Business Security
Ensure sensitive documents stay private. Stamp "Confidential" or "For Internal Use Only" across financial reports, legal contracts, or HR memos.
Indicate Document Status
Clearly communicate where a document is in your workflow. Mark files as "Draft," "Approved," "Void," or "Copy" for client reviews and archiving.
