Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add both text and image watermarks?

Currently you can add either text or image watermarks per operation. Apply one type, download, then add another type if needed.

Will the watermark be visible when printing?

Yes, watermarks are embedded in the PDF and will appear when printed. Adjust opacity if you want a subtle print appearance.

Can I remove a watermark later?

Watermarks are permanently embedded. Keep your original unwatermarked file if you might need a clean version later.

We support PNG, JPG, and SVG for image watermarks. PNG with transparency works best for logos.

Can I watermark password-protected PDFs?

You'll need to unlock the PDF first using our Unlock PDF tool, then add your watermark.
