Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No - the watermark is drawn entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. The file you upload never leaves your device.
Where does the watermark appear?
Diagonally across the center of every page, at a light opacity so the original content stays readable underneath.
Can I use an image or logo instead of text?
Not yet - this tool only adds a text watermark.
Can I change the watermark's color, size, or angle?
Not yet - it's a fixed gray, 45-degree, semi-transparent watermark. Only the text itself is customizable.
Does adding a watermark reduce PDF quality?
No - pdf-lib draws the watermark text directly onto each existing page without re-rendering or recompressing anything else on it.
What's the watermarked file called?
Your original filename with -watermarked added, like report-watermarked.pdf.
