Unlike Microsoft Word that has an exclusive option to add watermarks to its document, there is another way to add watermarks in Google Docs.
In this article, we will explore the same. But, first, let’s talk about Why we add watermarks in a document.
Why Watermark is Important?

Watermarks are generally a logo or text representing the owner of the respective document.
While the history of the watermark is quite old, today it is generally used for branding and copyrighting.

How to Add Watermarks in Google Docs?
Unlike Microsoft Word, Google Docs doesn’t have an exclusive option to add Watermark on the document.
However, there is another way.
To add a watermark in the document in Google Docs, we will use the Insert Image option.
First, create an image of your watermark in any of the Image editing software. I am using Windows Paint App to do the same.
Next, I put the image in the document, rotate it by 330 degrees.
Then, I choose the Behind Text option in the Text Wrapping menu and fix the image position on the page at the Center, and set its transparency to 80%.
Now, even though we can use this method to add watermarks in Google Docs there is one limitation.
We have to repeat the above steps for adding the watermark image to all the pages in Google docs.
