Watermarks serve multiple important purposes in document management. They protect your intellectual property by making unauthorized use immediately visible. A document marked with your company logo or copyright notice clearly establishes ownership and deters misuse.
Watermarks also communicate document status and handling requirements. Marking a document as 'DRAFT', 'CONFIDENTIAL', or 'FOR REVIEW ONLY' ensures recipients understand how to handle the content appropriately. This is especially important in regulated industries where document handling is audited.
For creative professionals and businesses, watermarks provide brand consistency across all shared documents. Adding your logo to proposals, reports, and client deliverables reinforces your brand identity with every page.
Mark sensitive business documents with 'CONFIDENTIAL' or 'INTERNAL USE ONLY'.
Clearly identify work-in-progress documents with 'DRAFT' or 'NOT FINAL' watermarks.
Add company logos to PDFs for brand consistency and protection.
Protect intellectual property with copyright watermarks on presentations and reports.
Add unique identifiers or dates to track document versions.
Mark preview copies with 'PROOF' or 'SAMPLE' before final approval.
Use 20-40% opacity for watermarks that are visible but don't obstruct content readability.
Diagonal placement covers more area and is harder to remove or crop out.
Use gray text for documents that might be printed - it's less distracting than colored watermarks.
For logos, use PNG images with transparency for best results.
You can add text watermarks (custom text with adjustable size and color) or image watermarks (your logo, stamp, or any image file).
Yes! Adjust opacity from 10% (very subtle) to 100% (fully opaque). We recommend 20-40% for most use cases.
Choose from center, diagonal (across the entire page), or any of the four corners: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right.
Yes! Apply watermarks to all pages, first page only, or specify a custom range (e.g., 1-5, 8, 10-15).
We support PNG, JPG, and WebP images. PNG with transparency works best for logos.

Watermarks added with this tool become part of the PDF. To create a version without watermarks, use the original unwatermarked PDF file.
20-40% opacity is ideal for most documents. This makes the watermark visible while keeping the underlying content readable. For proof copies, you might use higher opacity (50-70%).
Yes, watermarks will appear when printing. For print documents, test with a single page first to ensure the opacity and color work well on paper.
To add multiple watermarks, apply the first watermark and download the result, then upload that file and add the second watermark.
