Add text or your own logo, then set the position, size, rotation and opacity in a live preview.","Watermark PDF","Add a text or image watermark to your PDF and see it land on the page as you set the position, size, rotation and opacity. Everything happens in your browser, so your file is never uploaded.",[9,12,15,18],{"title":10,"content":11},"Open your PDF","Drop your PDF into the box or pick it from your device. It opens straight in the editor with no upload and no waiting, however large the file is.",{"title":13,"content":14},"Create your watermark","Choose text or image. For text, type the words and set the font, color and opacity; for an image, add your logo or stamp. Each one becomes a reusable template you can apply again.",{"title":16,"content":17},"Place it and set the look","Apply the watermark to the pages you want, all of them or a range, then drag it on the live page to move, resize and rotate it. Add a second watermark if you need a logo and a note on the same page.",{"title":19,"content":20},"Download your file","When the preview looks right, download the watermarked PDF. Only your device ever touches the file, and no Visual PDF branding is added to it.","How to add a watermark to a PDF",[23,26,29,32,35,38,41,44],{"q":24,"a":25},"How do I add a watermark to a PDF?","Open your PDF in the tool, then create a watermark from text or from an image. Apply it to the pages you want, then drag it on the page to set the position, size and rotation. Lower the opacity so it sits behind your text. When the preview looks right, download the file. The whole thing takes under a minute and needs no account.",{"q":27,"a":28},"Is it safe to watermark a confidential PDF here?","Yes. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so your PDF and your logo are opened, stamped and saved on your own device. Nothing is uploaded to a server, stored or scanned, which matters because watermarks usually go on sensitive files. If you want proof, open your browser's network tab and watch: no file leaves.",{"q":30,"a":31},"Will the watermark reduce the quality of my PDF?","No. The tool draws the watermark on top of your existing pages and leaves the original content untouched, so text stays sharp and selectable. An image watermark is placed at the size you set. Nothing behind the mark is re-rendered or compressed, so the rest of your document looks exactly as it did before.",{"q":33,"a":34},"Can I put a watermark on every page at once?","Yes. Apply a watermark to the full page range and it lands on every page in one step. You can also pick a smaller range so only certain pages carry it, and add more than one watermark, for example a logo in the corner and a Confidential mark across the middle of the page.",{"q":36,"a":37},"Can I use my own logo as an image watermark?","Yes. Choose \"Create image watermark\" and add a PNG or JPG of your logo or stamp. Place it where you want, resize it, rotate it and lower its opacity so it sits lightly on the page. A transparent PNG works best because the page stays visible behind your artwork.",{"q":39,"a":40},"Does it add its own Visual PDF watermark?","No. The only mark on your file is the one you create. Visual PDF never stamps its own branding on your output and never asks you to sign up or pay to remove anything. You download a clean PDF with exactly the text or image watermark you placed, and nothing more.",{"q":42,"a":43},"Can I add a watermark on my phone?","Yes. The tool works in a mobile browser on iPhone and Android, with no app to install. Open your PDF, create a text or image watermark, then tap and drag it on the page to position it. Because nothing uploads, it runs on your phone's own hardware and there is no wait for a file to transfer.",{"q":45,"a":46},"How do I make a diagonal Confidential watermark across the page?","Create a text watermark with the word \"Confidential\", apply it to the pages, then rotate it to a diagonal and drag it to the center. Lower the opacity so it reads through the text without hiding it.
