Beyond Watermarks: Fine-Tuned Brand Identity

Text & Image Dual Watermarks

Enter custom text (with color and bold styling options) as a watermark, or upload a logo/image file (max 5 MB). Both modes meet different branding and protection needs.

10 Position Modes & Parameter Fine-Tuning

Position 1 covers the entire page with tiled watermarks. Positions 2–10 place the watermark at any of 9 anchor points in a 3×3 grid. Angle supports 0°/45°/90°/180°/270° rotation; opacity and size freely adjustable.

Apply to All or Specific Pages

Watermarks are applied to all pages by default. You can also specify page ranges (e.g. 1-5,8,11-13) to add watermarks only to certain pages — meeting both full-document and selective protection needs.

Chain Multiple Operations

Combine with compression, merging, or format conversion in one continuous flow — no re-uploading.
