Frequently asked questions

Can I use an image watermark instead of text?

Currently Papiral supports text watermarks only. Image watermarks are planned for a future update.

Is the watermark editable in the output PDF?

The watermark is embedded as a PDF layer. While it is not easily removable without PDF editing software, it is not cryptographically locked.
