Frequently asked questions about Watermark

Does the watermark damage the original content?

No. It is drawn onto its own layer, so the text and images underneath are unchanged.

Can I use an image or logo?

Yes. Both text and image watermarks are supported, with control over size, angle, opacity and position.

Can I watermark only some pages?

Yes. Apply it to every page or to a range you choose.

Is it free?

Yes. Every tool works without paying and without an account. Files can be up to 200 pages and 80 MB, and a run that fails costs you nothing.

Do I need to create an account?

No. All tools work without signing in. An account raises your hourly allowance and lets you see what you have processed.

What happens to my file?

It travels over an encrypted connection into a directory created for that single request, is processed, is returned to you, and the working copy is deleted as the request finishes. We keep a record that an operation ran — never the filename or the contents.
