Questions
Add Watermark FAQs
Is a watermark the same as encryption?
No. A watermark is visible labeling. Use Password Protect PDF if you need AES-256 access control.
Can I use an image logo instead of text?
This tool stamps text only. Image watermarks are not in the current local feature set.
Does PDFForge add its own watermark?
No. Output contains only the text you enter.
