Operations

Add Watermarks

Add a watermark to a PDF file, to an image (PNG, JPG...) or to a video (MP4, MOV...).

To optimize a file, create a job with a watermark task.

The watermark can be either a simple text or an image file. If using an image file as watermark, make sure it has transparent background.

When using an image file as watermark, you need to add a second import task as shown below.
