  5. Click "Add watermark".

Questions

Can I use my company logo?

Yes. Choose "Picture or logo" and add a PNG or JPG. Set its size as a share of the page width.

Is a watermark easy to crop out?

Choose Tiled. Its rows are offset like brickwork, which makes it hard to crop out.

Can the watermark go behind the text?

Yes. Turn on "Put it behind the content". Text and pictures stay on top, but pages with a solid background hide it.

Do my files get uploaded?

No. The watermark is added on your device. It is free with no sign-up.
