    Build text, logo, or QR layers, style them, pick the target pages, and preview with before-and-after comparison.

  3. 03

Frequently asked questions

Is this a subscription?
No. PDF Watermark Studio is a one-time purchase ($6.99). All features and updates are included with no recurring fees.
Does it use the cloud?
No. The entire workflow stays local on your Mac — your documents are never uploaded anywhere.
Can I watermark only certain pages?
Yes. Target all pages, the first page, the last page, odd pages, even pages, a range, or custom selections.
Can I stack more than one watermark?
Yes. Stack multiple text, image, and QR code layers when a single mark is not enough.
Does it support automation?
Yes. Shortcuts support covers repeat document-marking workflows, and undo and redo are available during setup.
