Protecting copies of your ID

Copies of Aadhaar, PAN or a passport shared for KYC can be misused. A watermark that says who the copy is for, such as "Only for XYZ Bank KYC" followed by the date, makes it much harder to reuse anywhere else. Choose the Tiled layout so it can't be cropped out.

Branding business documents

Choose Image and upload your logo to stamp quotations, catalogues and price lists. Keep the opacity low, around 0.1 to 0.2, so the content stays easy to read.

Why your file stays private

Watermark PDF runs entirely inside your browser. Your file is read from your device, processed in memory and saved back to your device. It is never uploaded to GreenPDFs or anyone else, so you can use it with Aadhaar, marksheets, bank statements and other personal documents. How in-browser processing works.
