7 Reasons to Watermark PDFs with Us

1. Watermark multiple PDFs in one go

No matter what PDFs you’ve added, whether it is a single document with several pages or a few separate pages, your watermark can be added to all PDF pages simultaneously.

You can choose which pages in PDF you want to be watermarked:

• all pages;
• only the even pages;
• only the odd pages;
• only specific pages that you can select.

In the Preview section you can also see how your watermark will look on each page of the document, and you can make some adjustments to the position, size, color, opacity, and rotation of the watermark on a PDF page.

2. Upload logo or image in any format

There are no limits on the format type of images and logos that you can upload to the PDF watermark maker. Our tool supports JPG, PNG, SVG, HEIC, and WEBP.

If your logo has a background, you can remove it. It can make your watermark look more graphic and will not distract attention from the main content.

4. Add as many watermarks to PDF as you want

You can add several watermarks to PDF during one session. It is possible to combine text with an image or logo. Or, you can add multiple textual watermarks to different parts of one PDF page.

There is no need to create separate layers for that. Just click on the “Add Text“ or “Add Logo” button to insert more watermarks into your PDFs.

All changes are made in one place!

5. Intuitive interface

The interface of the app is intuitive and straightforward. You can handle it without any instructions or YouTube tutorials. All the editing options are found in the Settings box right near your watermark.

It is important to note that simplicity does not, by any means, equal poor editing functionality. On the contrary, you have a wide range of tools for customizing your watermark in PDF.

The app includes the following set of tools:

• Fonts: more than 900 fonts of different styles
• Color: over 100 solid colors and gradients, enter a HEX color code for precision

6. Speed up your workflow by using previously-used templates

The app remembers the last 10 watermarks you’ve applied to your PDFs. This can be very handy if you want to add the same watermark to different documents.

There is no need to create a new watermark on PDF and edit its position, opacity, etc. Upload your PDF files and use one of your previously-used templates. This way, the watermarking process will be quicker and much easier.

7. Try it for free

You can watermark PDFs using the watermark creator for free. Check out the editor’s interface, the downloading speed, and the finished PDFs. You can upload any number of files.

There is only one restriction with the free version of the app - a Visual Watermark logo is added to the bottom of your PDFs. If you need to remove it, you should buy an upgrade.
