The PDF Tool to Securing PDFs with Custom Watermarks

Why Trust Our PDF Watermark Creator?

• Zero-Upload Technology: We utilize advanced browser-based processing. Your PDF is processed locally on your device's memory. Your confidential documents never leave your computer.
• No Trace Left Behind: Once you close the tab, the processing cache is cleared instantly.

Key Features

• Dual Modes: Choose between Text Watermarks (great for "CONFIDENTIAL" or "DRAFT" stamps) and Image Watermarks (perfect for company logos).
• Full Customization: Control transparency (opacity), rotation angle, font size, and color.
• Smart Positioning: Place the watermark in the center, corners, or tile it across the entire page for maximum security.
• Layer Control: Ensure the watermark sits clearly on top of images or subtly behind the text.

How to Use This Tool to Add Watermarks to PDF?

• Step 1: Upload Your Document
  Click the "Select PDF" button or drag and drop your file. The tool supports standard PDF documents of any page count.
• Step 2: Choose Watermark Style
  For Text: Type your desired text (e.g., "DO NOT COPY"). Select a font family and color.
  For Image: Upload a transparent PNG of your logo.
• Step 3: Adjust Settings (The "Golden Ratio")
  Based on our experience processing thousands of documents, here are the recommended settings for a professional look:
  Opacity: Set to 30% - 50%. Anything higher might make the document hard to read; anything lower might be invisible on printed copies.
  Rotation: A 45-degree angle is the industry standard for diagonal watermarks.
  Layer: Choose "Over Content" to prevent the watermark from being hidden by images in the PDF.
• Step 4: Generate and Download
  Click "Add Watermark". Within seconds, your browser will generate the new file. Download it to your device.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: Will the watermark cover the text and make it unreadable?
  A: Not if you adjust the Opacity (Transparency) settings. We recommend setting the opacity to around 50% or lower. This ensures the watermark is visible as a background element without obscuring the main content.
• Q: Can I watermark specific pages only?
  A: Currently, this tool applies the watermark to all pages to ensure consistent protection throughout the document. We are working on a page-range feature for future updates.
• Q: Is it safe to use this tool for legal contracts?
  A: Yes. Since we use client-side processing, your legal contracts are not transmitted over the internet. This makes it safer than server-based alternatives.
• Q: Can I use a JPG image as a watermark?
  A: Yes, you can. However, we highly recommend using a PNG file with a transparent background. A JPG will have a white box around your logo, which may block text, whereas a transparent PNG blends seamlessly.
