💡 Smart Tips
  • Use low opacity (0.15–0.35) for professional watermarks that don't block reading
  • For "COPY" or "CONFIDENTIAL", try diagonal rotation (35°–55°) in the center
  • Choose "Custom (Click on Preview)" for exact placement on stamps, seals, or letterheads
  • For logos, keep image scale moderate and preview at multiple zoom levels
  • Use Odd/Even pages when watermarking printed documents (like duplex printing)

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is this watermark tool free to use?

Can I place the watermark at an exact position?
Yes. Choose "Custom (Click on Preview)" and click the location on the preview to set it.
Why does my watermark look different after download?
Some PDFs have different page sizes or internal scaling. Always preview multiple pages and adjust size/position if needed.
Which watermark is better: text or image?
Text is best for "Confidential / Draft". Image is best for logos and brand marks. Both support opacity/rotation and multi-page applying.
