Frequently asked questions

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is opened and processed by your own browser, and the result is created on your device. Nothing is sent to our server, so it works even with confidential documents.

Can the watermark be removed later?

It is drawn into the page, so it cannot simply be switched off, but it is not a security feature. Treat it as a visible label.

When to use Watermark PDF

  • Mark drafts so they are not mistaken for final versions
  • Label documents as Confidential before sharing
