When to use this tool

Enter the watermark text, choose the available size and appearance settings, then apply it to the required pages.

A practical example

Mark a review copy as DRAFT and keep the unmarked original separately.

Check the exported result

Check dark and light page regions so the watermark remains visible without hiding important content.

Common problems and limits

A watermark is a visible label, not access control or a guarantee against copying. Avoid using it as redaction.

Files, privacy and saving

This workflow uses temporary server processing after your consent. Review the upload notice and avoid processing material you are not authorised to use. Keep your original, review the downloaded result and choose a clear filename before sharing it. The privacy policy explains the processing approach.
