Can I use my own logo image?

Yes. Alongside text watermarks, you can pick an image from your phone — a logo, stamp, or signature graphic — and place it on every page.

Can I control how visible the watermark is?

Yes. You can adjust opacity so the watermark sits subtly behind the content, or set it fully opaque if you want it to stand out clearly.
