Common Questions

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Watermarks are applied entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. Your files never leave your device — you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool will still work fully offline.

Can I use both text and image watermarks?

Yes. You can add text watermarks (with customizable font, size, color, and rotation) and image watermarks (upload your logo or stamp as PNG/JPG). Both can be configured independently for position, opacity, and which pages they appear on.

Can I watermark multiple PDFs at once?

Yes, batch mode lets you apply the same watermark settings to multiple PDF files in one operation. Each file is processed independently and you can download them individually or as a ZIP archive.

What watermark positions are available?

Multiple positions: center, top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right, tile (repeat across the page), and custom coordinates. You can also set rotation (0-360°) and opacity (0-100%).

Can I choose which pages to watermark?

Yes. Apply watermarks to all pages, only odd pages, only even pages, or specify a custom page range (e.g., 1-5, 8, 11-15).

What if my PDF is password-protected?

You'll be prompted for the password. Decryption happens locally in your browser and the password is never sent to any server. After unlocking, the watermark is applied normally.

Can I remove or edit a watermark after applying it?

Watermarks are permanently merged into the PDF content. We recommend keeping a copy of the original PDF before applying watermarks, so you can go back if needed.

Is the tool really free?

Yes. No charge, no sign-up, no watermark on the output (beyond what you intentionally add), and no limit on file size or number of conversions. The tool is supported by non-intrusive advertising on the surrounding pages.
