PDF Watermark Tool FAQ

Does this PDF Watermark Tool upload my file?

No. The watermark is added locally in your browser, and no login is required.

Can I watermark only selected pages?

Yes. Choose selected pages and enter a range such as 1-3, 5, or 8-last.

Can I change watermark opacity?

Yes. You can adjust opacity, font size, rotation, color, and position before downloading.

Can I add image watermarks?

This tool currently focuses on text watermarks because they are fast, clear, and work well for Draft, Confidential, Sample, Paid, and custom labels.

Will PDF signatures or forms remain valid?

Adding a watermark creates a new PDF. Digital signatures, forms, bookmarks, scripts, or advanced features may not be preserved exactly.
