Add Watermark to PowerPoint
Protect your intellectual property by adding custom watermarks to your PowerPoint presentations. Whether you need to add a 'CONFIDENTIAL' text overlay or your company logo to every slide, our tool handles it with professional precision. You can control the opacity, rotation, and position of the watermark to ensure it's visible without distracting from your content. The watermark is placed as a new shape on each slide, so your existing text, images, charts, and layouts stay exactly where they were, and slide masters, transitions, and animations continue to work as before. Watermarks can be applied to every slide or only to a range you select, and image watermarks keep their transparency. The file is processed locally in your browser using the presentation's own package, so your deck is opened, modified, and downloaded without ever being uploaded.

Questions People Ask
Honest answers about how this works.
Will it affect my slide animations?
No, the watermark is added as a top-level overlay. Your existing animations and transitions remain untouched.
Does my presentation get uploaded?
No. The PPTX is opened, watermarked, and re-saved entirely in your browser. Confidential decks, unreleased financial slides, and client material are processed locally, and the file never travels to a server or is stored beyond the current session.
Can I watermark only some slides?
Yes. Alongside applying to every slide, you can choose a range, such as the first slide or slides 5 through 12, and the watermark is added only to those slides while the rest of the deck stays untouched, with its original formatting intact.
What happens to my slide layouts and masters?
Nothing changes there. The watermark is added as a separate shape on each slide rather than by editing the master, so theme colors, placeholders, and layouts are preserved exactly, and the watermark can still be repositioned or removed later in PowerPoint.
