Frequently Asked Questions

What is the grid pattern feature on my Custom Document?

The repeating pattern feature is the ultimate form of visual security for your Custom Document. Rather than one isolated stamp, tiling duplicates your watermark and spreads it across the entire canvas. This is highly recommended when you are sending unpaid proofs to a client because it completely prevents malicious users from cloning the background over the stamp. While it is visually aggressive, making the tiles highly transparent provides an invisible shield against unauthorized use.

How do I match my brand colors for Custom Document?

Absolutely, complete color control is available in our Custom Document platform. You are not limited to basic black and white that lets you dial in your exact brand colors. For strict brand guidelines, you can type in your precise RGB values to ensure perfect consistency. It is a good practice to experimenting with subtle grays to ensure it looks professional rather than looking harsh and amateurish.

Is my copyright metadata preserved on my Custom Document?

We prioritize file integrity, meaning it preserves your original EXIF metadata during the export process. When you upload a photograph, the underlying metadata remains intact when the visual watermark is applied to the Custom Document. Please note, if you want the absolute highest level of legal protection, you should ensure your EXIF data is populated prior to visual stamping to protect your Custom Document both visually and invisibly.

What are the best practices for watermarking on my Custom Document?

Designing an elegant stamp requires a balance of visibility and subtlety. A common rookie error is using a massive, 100% opaque, neon-colored font right in the middle of the image. For a premium aesthetic on your Custom Document, use a clean, minimalist sans-serif font or a high-quality transparent logo. Anchor it near the edges or in negative space, and drop the opacity to between 15% and 25%. Using a slight outline keeps it legible while maintaining your artistic integrity.

Does this support moving images like my Custom Document?

At this time, we specialize in high-speed processing for JPG, PNG, WEBP, and PDF formats. While you can upload the first frame of a GIF, it will render as a single watermarked frame of your Custom Document. Watermarking every single frame of a complex animation is better suited for dedicated video editing software like Premiere or After Effects. For static Custom Document files, however, we provide unmatched performance and privacy.

Can I stamp public domain photos for Custom Document?

It is only legally appropriate to claim ownership of Custom Document documents that you actually own. Slapping your watermark on stock photos, other people's artwork, or public domain images is a deceptive practice and can lead to severe legal consequences, including DMCA takedowns and lawsuits. That being said, if you are adding a transformative, educational, or parody watermark, it might be permissible. Protect your own original Custom Document creations to stay legally compliant.
