Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The watermark is applied entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. Your file never leaves your device.
Can I customize the watermark appearance?
Yes. You can change the text, font size, opacity (how transparent it appears), rotation angle, and color — all from the settings panel before applying.
Will the watermark appear on every page?
Yes. The watermark text is stamped centered on every page of the PDF.
Can the watermark be removed later?
The watermark is drawn as a text element in the PDF. It can be removed with a PDF editor that supports content stream editing (such as Adobe Acrobat Pro), but not with simple viewers. For lighter opacity levels, it is easier to remove — use higher opacity if you need stronger protection.
What font is used for the watermark?
Helvetica Bold, one of the standard PDF fonts. It is embedded by default and provides good visibility across all PDF viewers.
