Is the PDF Watermarker free to use?

Does my data get uploaded anywhere?

Does it work offline?

Which browsers are supported?

Can I remove the watermark later?

The watermark is rendered as text drawn onto the PDF page using pdf-lib. It is embedded in the page content layer and cannot be removed without specialist PDF editing software. Keep a copy of the original un-watermarked file.

Does the watermark appear on every page?

A live preview shows exactly how the watermark will look before you apply it. Click Apply Watermark & Download.
