Watermark Text & Dynamic Metadata TagsCustom Text & Dynamic Date/Page Tags
The protective wording or confidentiality notice displayed across your document pages. Supports dynamic date and numbering tags including {page} for sequential page numbers, {total} for total page counts, {date} for today's submission date, and {filename} to track which student essay, rental lease, or medical record was shared.
Default: CONFIDENTIAL
Visual Transparency & Opacity BalancePercentage Range (5% to 100% Opacity)
Controls how light or bold your watermark appears over the document text. The sweet-spot benchmark for physical paper printing is 12% to 18% so text remains crisp and legible without waste of ink, while 20% to 35% is ideal for digital screen viewing on phones and tablets to stop unauthorized screenshots without straining the eyes.
Default: 18%
Diagonal Rotation & Angle TraversalDegree Measurement (-90° to +90° Tilt)
Tilts the watermark across the page geometry. A classic +45° or -35° diagonal angle spans the longest visual path across the page, cutting across paragraphs, signatures, and stamps so nobody can easily crop out or cover your protection note without visibly damaging the underlying document.
Default: 45°
Watermark Layout & Pattern DistributionArrangement Mode (Single Center vs Repeating Grid)
Selects whether your watermark appears once in the center of each page or repeats in a continuous tiled diagonal lattice. While a single centered badge looks formal and clean for diplomas and certificates, a repeating tiled pattern covers every corner, making it virtually impossible for someone to cut out portions of your ID or lease agreement.
Default: Single Center Anchor
Layer Placement & Stacking OrderVisual Layer (Foreground Overlay vs Background Underlay)
Determines whether the watermark sits on top of your content or behind it. For scanned paperwork, smartphone photos of driver's licenses, or medical records where pages are solid scanned pictures, always place the watermark in the foreground (over the page) so it does not get hidden beneath the scan. For typed digital documents, placing it behind text preserves maximum readability.
Default: Foreground Overlay
Targeted Page Scope & Custom RangePage Selection Range (Intervals & Rules)
Specifies exactly which pages receive the stamp. Choose standard presets like all pages, odd pages, or first page only, or type a custom sequence (such as 1-3, 5, 8-10) to protect only specific sensitive pages like signature blocks, tax tables, or photo ID sheets.
Default: All Pages
