Frequently asked questions

Can I watermark only some pages?

Yes. Enter the pages you want, such as 1-3, 5, or leave it empty for all pages.

Can I repeat the watermark across the page?

Yes. Turn on "Repeat across the page" for a tiled pattern.

Can the watermark be removed?

It is drawn onto the pages. For extra protection, run the result through Flatten PDF with "Whole pages to images".

Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your own browser, on your own device. Your files are never sent to a server, so nobody else can see or keep them.
