What is a Watermark?

A watermark is a visible overlay, such as text, a logo, or a copyright notice, embedded on a PDF or image. It identifies ownership and discourages unauthorized use. While watermarks don’t prevent copying, they make it harder for others to claim your work. Examples include “Confidential,” “Draft,” or a company logo.
