Frequently asked questions
Can I use my logo as a watermark?
Yes. Switch to Image and choose a PNG or JPG. A logo with a transparent background looks best.
Can I watermark only some pages?
Yes. Enter the first and last page to stamp. Leave the last page empty to watermark every page from the first one onward.
Is the document uploaded?
No. The watermark is applied in your browser and the PDF never leaves your device.
