Frequently asked questions

Can’t find your answer? Contact us

Is Watermark PDF free?

Yes. Adding watermarks on PDFixed is completely free, with no sign-up — and we never add a watermark of our own.

Are my files safe?

Your PDF is watermarked right here in your browser. It is never uploaded to our servers, so nobody else can see it.

Can I use my logo as a watermark?

Yes. Choose “Image”, upload your logo as a PNG or JPG, and set its size and transparency. PNG logos with a transparent background look best.

Can I watermark only some pages?

Yes. Type the pages you want, like 1, 3, 5-8. Leave the box empty to watermark every page.

Can a watermark be removed?

The watermark becomes part of each page, so it can’t simply be switched off in a PDF reader. For extra protection, lock the PDF with Protect PDF afterwards.
