FAQs

Why watermark documents I share?
A watermark such as "Only for passport verification" makes a copy of your Aadhaar or certificate harder to misuse elsewhere.
Can I use Hindi text?
Currently the watermark supports English letters, numbers and basic symbols.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript — your files never leave your phone or computer, so they stay private.
