Frequently asked questions

Can I control how visible the watermark is?

Yes. There's an opacity slider that goes from barely visible to fully solid. Most people set it around 20–40% so the text is clearly visible but doesn't block the content underneath.

Can someone remove my watermark?

The watermark is stamped directly into the page content, not added as a removable annotation. A determined user with professional tools could theoretically edit it, but it can't be removed with a simple click like an annotation can.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. Everything happens in your browser. Your document never leaves your device.

Is it free?

Completely free — no account, no watermarks from us added to your document, no limits.
