Frequently Asked Questions

Why should architects watermark drawings?

Watermarks protect copyright, identify your firm, prevent unauthorized use, and clearly mark drawing status (PRELIMINARY, FOR REVIEW, etc.).

What opacity should I use?

Use 20-40% opacity for subtle watermarks that don't obscure the drawing, or 60-100% for prominent protection on sensitive documents.

Can I use this for construction drawings?

Yes! Add "NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION" or "PRELIMINARY" watermarks to drawings still in development to prevent misuse.

What file formats are supported?

We support JPG, PNG, and TIFF formats - the most common formats for architectural drawings and scanned documents.

Can I remove the watermark later?

No, watermarks are permanently embedded. Always keep original unwatermarked files for your records.

What should my watermark say?

Common watermarks include: copyright notices (© 2024 Firm Name), status (PRELIMINARY, DRAFT), restrictions (NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION), or project info.
