Example
A team lead wants to stamp "DRAFT v2" in red at the top-right corner of a 12-page proposal before circulating it internally. Setting the text to 28pt at 40% opacity creates a visible but unobtrusive mark on every page without hiding the content underneath.
Common Use Cases
- Labeling documents as "DRAFT", "INTERNAL", or "REVIEW COPY" before circulation.
- Adding page identifiers like a project name or date in a chosen corner of every page.
- Marking confidential documents with a semi-transparent text overlay.
FAQ
- Does this create a watermark? Yes — this tool draws semi-transparent text on top of every page, which functions as a visual overlay or watermark.
- Can I use different text on different pages? Not yet — the same text, color, and position is applied to all pages.
- Is my file uploaded anywhere? No — the overlay is applied entirely in your browser.
