Not every PDF should be shared freely.

Sometimes a document needs context.
Sometimes it needs protection.
Sometimes it needs branding.

With PDFHQ, watermarking a PDF is not just about adding text — it’s about control. Control over placement, rotation, visibility, and presentation.

👉 Add your watermark now using Watermark PDF.

Watermarking Isn’t Decoration — It’s Intent

A watermark tells the reader how a document should be treated.

It can signal:

• Ownership
• Confidentiality
• Draft status
• Brand identity

PDFHQ gives you the tools to apply that intent clearly and professionally, without altering the original content.

Text and Image Watermarks — Your Choice

Different documents call for different watermark styles.

Text Watermarks

Use text when clarity matters:

• CONFIDENTIAL
• DRAFT
• Company names
• Copyright notices

Text watermarks are ideal for internal documents, reviews, and legal files.

Image Watermarks

Use images when branding matters:

• Company logos
• Official stamps
• Visual identifiers

Image watermarks work best for externally shared PDFs, samples, and branded materials.

Full Control Over How the Watermark Appears

PDFHQ doesn’t lock you into presets. You decide exactly how the watermark behaves.

Rotate the Watermark

Angle your watermark to make it visible without being distracting — perfect for diagonal “CONFIDENTIAL” or branded layouts.

Place It Over or Under the Content

• Over the text when visibility matters
• Under the text when subtlety matters

This makes watermarking flexible instead of intrusive.

Adjust Font, Colour & Opacity

Fine-tune:

• Font style and size
• Colour to match your brand
• Opacity to keep content readable

The result is a watermark that fits your document — not one that fights it.
