Can I use my company logo as a watermark?

Absolutely. Upload any PNG or JPG image file to use as a watermark. PNG files with transparency work particularly well—the transparent areas remain see-through on your document. You can resize the logo to fit your needs, position it anywhere on the page (corner placement is popular for logos), and adjust opacity so it's visible without overwhelming your content.

How do I ensure the watermark doesn't obscure important document content?

You have several options. First, adjust the opacity—a semi-transparent watermark (20-40%) is visible but allows content to show through clearly. Second, position the watermark strategically: corners are common for logos, while diagonal text watermarks like 'CONFIDENTIAL' are typically placed at 30-50% opacity so text beneath remains readable. The live preview lets you experiment until you find the right balance.

Can I apply different watermarks to different pages?

You can apply a watermark to specific page ranges. For example, watermark only the first page with your logo, apply 'DRAFT' to all pages, or mark only odd pages. If you need completely different watermarks on different sections, run the tool multiple times with different page range selections.

What's the difference between a watermark and a stamp?

Watermarks are typically semi-transparent and appear behind your content (or subtly over it), used for branding or to indicate document status. Stamps are usually more prominent, fully opaque marks placed at specific locations—like an 'APPROVED' stamp or a signature stamp. Our tool handles both use cases depending on how you configure opacity and positioning.
