Frequently asked questions
Can I use my own text instead of CONFIDENTIAL?
Yes, the watermark text field is free text — type anything up to 60 characters, using letters, numbers and common punctuation.
Does the watermark cover up my content?
It’s designed to sit behind the page content at partial opacity, so pick “Faint” or “Medium” strength if you want the underlying text to stay easy to read.
Can I remove a watermark added by this tool later?
Not with this tool — the watermark is drawn directly onto each page. Keep your original, unwatermarked file if you might need it later.
Does it work on pages that are rotated?
Yes, the watermark follows each page’s orientation so it always reads correctly.
