To make sure your work never goes uncredited, it is a good idea to watermark your documents. Watermarks are also useful to place your brand image on any document or signify that a piece of information is confidential. The ideal way to go about this is by placing the watermark behind the body of text in big and bold lettering. If you primarily use Google Docs to manage your work documents and have no idea how to add a watermark to them, this article will help.

Which watermark should you use?
Google Docs allows two kinds of watermarks to be used in their files – Image and Text. Both serve unique purposes. If you want to use a personalised logo as the watermark, select ‘image’. This is perfect for creating pamphlets and flyers that are marked with your brand logo. You can adjust the positioning of the logo to attract the maximum attention. One of the best things about an image watermark is that you can upload the image directly from services like Google Drive, Photos, and Images without leaving the document. You can also upload the image from your PC’s internal storage.
On the other hand, text watermarks can be used for all the internal documents at your workplace. You can change the opacity, font, and format of the text according to your liking. This is the kind of watermark you see on confidential documents. If you’re not happy with the results, watermarks can be removed very easily at the click of a button. Adjusting the opacity, positioning, and contrast of the watermarks yields the best results.
