How to use Add watermark

Type a watermark such as DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL, or upload a JPG or PNG logo, and PDFVelora stamps it over your pages. Place it in the centre, in a corner or along an edge, set its size, colour, opacity and angle, and apply it to every page or only the pages you list. A preview shows the result on your own pages before you start. Text is written as real text, in any script, Arabic included.

  1. Upload your PDF

    Drop the PDF on the page or choose it from your device.

  2. Choose text or image

    Type the watermark text and pick its size and colour, or upload a JPG or PNG and set its width.

  3. Adjust the look

    Pick one of nine positions, then set the opacity, the rotation and the pages to stamp. Check the preview.

  4. Download the watermarked PDF

    Start processing and download the result.

Questions about Add watermark

Can I use my logo as a watermark?

Yes. Choose Image and upload a JPG or PNG. Its width is set as a percentage of the page width, from 5% to 100%. The picture is re-encoded without its metadata before it's added.

How do I make the watermark faint?

Lower the opacity: 5% gives a very faint mark and 100% a solid one. Text watermarks start at 30% opacity, angled at 45°, and you can turn them anywhere from -180° to 180°.

Can I watermark only some pages?

Yes. Choose Some pages and enter page numbers and ranges, such as 1-3, 5, 8- (8- means page 8 to the end).

Does it work on password-protected PDFs?

A PDF that needs a password to open must be unlocked first with Unlock PDF. A PDF that only restricts printing or copying keeps those restrictions after watermarking.

Is adding a watermark free?

Yes. Without an account you can run 3 tasks a day, and a free account gives you 5. Pro and Business plans have no daily limit.

What happens to my files after watermarking?

Files are encrypted in transit and deleted automatically: after 2 hours for visitors and after 24 hours for account holders, unless you save them to My documents.
