Frequently asked questions
Can I remove the watermark later?
The watermark becomes part of each page. To ‘remove’ it, keep an unwatermarked copy of the original file before applying the watermark.
Can I add an image watermark or logo?
This tool supports text watermarks. For a logo, add it as an image using our Edit PDF or Sign PDF tools.
Is this tool safe to use with confidential files?
Yes. Every file is processed locally inside your web browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Nothing is uploaded to a server, stored, or shared — so contracts, invoices, medical records and personal documents stay 100% private on your device.
Is it really free? Are there any limits or watermarks?
Yes, it's completely free with no sign-up, no daily limits, and no watermarks stamped on your output. Process a single file or hundreds — the only limit is your device's memory.
