Add a text watermark

- 3Drag to position it, use the handles for size and angle, and choose the opacity.
- 4Press Apply; the watermark is added permanently to every page.
Watermarking an ID copy
When you have to share a copy of your ID or licence, add a tiled watermark saying who it's for and why. Tiled watermarks are very hard to clean off.
Logo watermark
Use the image option to upload a PNG or JPG logo. A PNG with a transparent background gives the cleanest result.
