Frequently Asked Questions

How does client-side PDF watermarking work?

Our tool embeds text layers and vector rotation transformations directly into your document inside browser memory using WebAssembly. Your files are never uploaded or transmitted to any server.

Can I customize the watermark text and opacity?

Yes. You can write any customized text (such as CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, COPY, or your company name) and adjust the opacity slider to ensure the watermark remains clearly visible without obscuring underlying text.

Will the watermark be applied to every page?

Yes. The watermark is automatically stamped across every single page of your document at a diagonal angle, centered perfectly on each page canvas.

Are my sensitive documents kept private?

Absolutely. Because all processing executes 100% in your device memory (RAM), no document content, text, or file data is ever stored, analyzed, or sent to external servers.

Can I watermark password-protected PDFs?

If a PDF document has an active open password, you need to unlock it first before applying watermarks so the page elements can be accessed.

Does adding a watermark reduce document quality?

No. The watermark is rendered as a vector typography overlay. Original high-resolution images, document fonts, and vector paths remain untouched.
