Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the watermark semi-transparent?

Yes — the opacity slider controls transparency. 20–40% opacity is typically used for background watermarks that are visible but do not obscure content.

Can I remove a watermark from a PDF?

Removing watermarks from a PDF is difficult and often impossible without the original source file. Watermarks applied as a flat image layer are particularly hard to remove.

Can I add an image watermark instead of text?

This tool adds text watermarks. For image watermarks (logos), you would need a PDF editing application such as Adobe Acrobat.

Does the watermark appear on all pages?

Yes — the watermark is applied consistently to every page of the document.
