FAQ

PDF watermark questions

How do I add a watermark to a PDF?

Upload a PDF, choose text or image mode, configure the watermark, select pages, and download the new PDF after the watermark is applied.

Can I use a logo instead of text?

Yes. Select image mode and upload a PNG or JPG file. PNG is often useful for logos because transparent areas can be preserved.

Can I watermark selected pages only?

Yes. Enter one page, a comma-separated list, or a range such as 1,3-5. Use all to watermark every page.

Will the original PDF be changed?

No. The tool downloads a separate PDF with the watermark added, so the uploaded file remains unchanged.

Why can’t I watermark a password-protected PDF?

Encrypted PDFs can prevent editing. If you have permission, unlock the document before uploading it again.
