What a watermark is for

A watermark is text overlaid on the content, useful to mark a document as a draft, confidential or copy, to discourage its distribution, or to put your name on a piece of work before sharing it. Being semi-transparent and diagonal, it stays readable without covering the text underneath.

Tip

Keep the intensity low (around 20%) so it doesn't get in the way of reading. A bright color like red makes the text clearly visible; grey is more discreet and suits formal documents.
