Common Scenarios

Confidential review

place a clear text notice across draft reports or internal documents.

Branding

add a PNG, JPEG, or WebP logo to customer-ready PDFs.

Distribution copies

add a recipient, project, or status label to selected pages.

Input & Output

Input: one local PDF plus either text or one PNG, JPEG, or WebP logo.
Controls: single or tiled foreground placement, nine-position alignment for single mode, margin, opacity, rotation, scale, tile spacing, text style, and page range.
Output: one new PDF with the watermark added only to selected pages; the original file is not changed.

Usage Advice

Use enough contrast to remain readable without hiding important page content.
Check several pages, especially pages with different sizes or rotation, before creating the result.
Keep the original PDF and verify the downloaded copy before distribution.

Limitations & Compatibility

This version adds foreground watermarks only. It does not place marks behind page content or at free-form coordinates.
Text watermark glyphs are rendered into a high-resolution transparent image for multilingual support. Source PDF pages are not rasterized, and their existing text and vector content remain page content.
Creating a modified PDF invalidates existing digital signatures. Sign the result again only with a trusted signing workflow.
Encrypted or password-protected PDFs are not supported and are not decrypted by this tool.
This is not a copyright, DRM, or watermark-removal tool. Adding a mark does not prove ownership or grant rights to a document.

Privacy & Security

PDF processing and preview run locally in your browser. Source and generated PDFs are not uploaded. If you explicitly save to Workspace, the logo may be stored as a Workspace attachment; when WebDAV sync is enabled, that attachment is encrypted before upload.
