## About

Stamp a watermark on every page of a PDF — diagonally across the page for a classic look, or as a banner at the top for a header-style mark. Pick the text, color, and opacity.

Useful for marking drafts as "DRAFT" or "CONFIDENTIAL", branding documents before sharing, or adding a copyright notice.

## How to use

1. **Enter watermark text** — e.g. "DRAFT", "CONFIDENTIAL", or your brand.
2. **Pick orientation** — Diagonal (centered, rotated -30°) or banner (top of page).
3. **Apply** — The watermark is drawn on every selected page.

## FAQ

### Can I remove the watermark later?

No — the watermark is baked into the PDF content. To remove it, re-create the document from its source.

### Is the watermark visible when printed?

Yes. The watermark is part of the document content, not an on-screen overlay, so it appears on every print and every view.

### Does the watermark stay sharp on zoom?

Yes. The watermark is drawn as vector text with embedded Helvetica, so it stays sharp at any zoom level.
