Tips & Best Practices
Balance Visibility and Readability
Adjust the opacity of your watermark. A good starting point is between 30% and 50%. This makes it visible enough for protection without making the main content difficult to read.
Diagonal is Often Better
A 45-degree rotation for your watermark often provides the best coverage and makes it harder to remove without affecting the underlying content.
