A watermark you chose, not one we added.

Most free PDF tools stamp their own name across your export and sell removal as the upgrade. That is the opposite of what a watermark is for. Nothing here is ever added to your file: the only watermark in the export is the one you asked for, with the wording you typed.

A good status watermark is legible without competing with the text underneath, which is a matter of opacity and size rather than good intentions. Both are adjustable, along with colour and a ninety-degree rotation for the classic diagonal look, and the preview uses the same settings the export will, so you can judge it before downloading.

The watermark is a single document-wide operation applied to every page, and it stays a pending change until export, so you can adjust the wording or remove it entirely without re-uploading the file.

Questions about this tool.

The things worth knowing before you edit the document.

Does PDFEditor add its own watermark to my file?

Never. There is no branding, badge or trial notice in the export. The only watermark in your PDF is the one you add yourself.

Can I control how the watermark looks?

Yes. Set its size, colour, opacity and rotation. The on-page preview uses the same values as the export, so what you review is what you download.

Is the watermark applied to every page?

Yes. It is a document-wide operation, so one action covers the whole file rather than needing to be repeated per page.

Can the watermark be removed by the recipient?

It is drawn into the page content, so it is not a separate annotation that can simply be deleted. It is a visual marker rather than a security control, so pair it with Protect PDF when access itself needs restricting.
