Tip for protecting ID copies

When you send a copy of your ID or passport, add a watermark naming the recipient, purpose and date. If the copy leaks later, it's much harder to misuse. You can also password-protect the file afterwards.

Note: a watermark deters copying but doesn't prevent it. Very sensitive files also need a password.

Privacy and security

“Watermark PDF” runs entirely in your browser using trusted open-source libraries. Your files are never uploaded to a server and no copy is kept, so your documents stay private. It is free and needs no sign-up.

Tip: For digital product samples, use tile mode at 15–25% transparency so the mark is hard to crop.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use my logo?

Yes — choose “Image” and upload it; transparent PNG works best.

Will it hide the text?

Adjust the transparency to keep pages readable.

What opacity works best?

Usually 15–30%: clearly visible while the text underneath stays readable.

Can someone remove the watermark?

It's hard, especially in tile mode, but not impossible for a skilled person. Use watermarks to deter and passwords to protect.
