Frequently asked questions

Answers about capabilities, limits, and how files are handled.

Can I use both text and an image?
Yes. You can create a text watermark or choose an image such as a logo.
Can I adjust the transparency?
Yes. Choose a level that is visible enough without covering the main content.
Does a watermark prevent others from copying?
No. A watermark is an identifier and warning, not a technical mechanism that blocks every form of copying.
Can I choose which pages to apply it to?
You can select a page range in the interface before exporting the file.
