Frequently Asked Questions

Can I watermark specific pages only?
Yes — apply to all pages, odd pages, even pages, or the pages you list, such as "1-3, 5". Pages left out are marked "Not watermarked" in the preview.
Can I use my company logo as a watermark?
Yes — switch to Image watermark and choose your logo as a JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF or HEIC file (transparency is kept), then set its width, opacity, rotation and position.
Can I place the watermark behind the content?
Yes — choose Behind content and the page is painted over the watermark. On pages with an opaque background, such as scans, that hides it, so On top is the right choice there.
Can I put the watermark exactly where I want it?
Yes — drag it on the page with a mouse, finger or pen, move it with the arrow keys (hold Shift for bigger steps), or type where its centre goes in millimetres. It goes in the same spot on every watermarked page, measured as a share of the width and height of each page. Pick one of the nine positions to snap it back.
Can I tile the watermark across the page?
Yes — choose Tiled to repeat the watermark across the whole page, turned with it; the Spacing slider sets the gap between copies.
Which fonts can I use?
Helvetica, Times or Courier, in bold. They are standard PDF fonts, so no font file is added to the PDF and the text stays selectable. They cover Western European letters; text in other scripts cannot be used as a text watermark.
