Your PDF Watermarking Questions, Answered (FAQ)
What is a PDF watermark?
A watermark is a visible text or image overlay that is placed on a document. It's commonly used to identify the owner of a document, indicate its status (e.g., "Draft," "Confidential"), or to prevent unauthorized use and distribution of copyrighted content, like a company logo on a proposal.
Is it safe to upload a confidential document to add a watermark?
Yes, absolutely. Our tool is one of the safest you can use. Because all the processing is done locally in your browser using JavaScript, your file is never sent over the internet to our servers. Your sensitive data remains on your computer at all times.
Can a watermark be removed from a PDF?
A watermark applied with our tool becomes a permanent part of the document's content. While advanced PDF editing software might be able to remove it, it is a difficult and often imperfect process. This makes our watermarks a strong deterrent against unauthorized use.
What is a tiled watermark?
A tiled watermark is a text or image that is repeated multiple times across the entire page, often in a diagonal pattern. This is a high-security option because it makes it virtually impossible to remove the watermark or use any part of the document without the watermark being visible.
