How to use it

  3. Pick the strength and whether it goes diagonally.
  4. Click Add watermark.

How it works

The text is drawn in semi-transparent grey at the center of each page, sized to cross it. The content underneath stays readable.

Using the recipient's name as the watermark helps you know where a copy came from if it is forwarded, for example when sending an ID document for a procedure.

The watermark accepts Latin letters, including accents. Text in other scripts cannot be drawn yet.

FAQ

Can the watermark be removed later?

Someone skilled with a PDF editor could remove it. It works as a warning and a deterrent, not as full protection.

Can I use an image or a logo?

For now text only.

Which strength should I use?

Medium in most cases. Light if the document has small text that must stay easy to read.

Is the PDF uploaded to a server?

No. The watermark is added in your browser.
