What You Can Do

Text and Logo Watermarks

Add a text watermark with your name, brand, copyright notice or any custom text. Or upload your own logo, signature or image file as a watermark overlay. Transparent PNG logos work best and keep the result looking clean and professional.

Full Style Control

Choose from multiple font options, set the size, pick any colour and adjust opacity from fully transparent to completely solid. Getting the balance right between visible enough to protect and subtle enough not to ruin the image is easy with live preview updating as you adjust each setting.

Nine-Position Placement Grid

Place your watermark in any of nine positions: top left, top centre, top right, middle left, centre, middle right, bottom left, bottom centre or bottom right. Bottom right is the most common choice for photography but every position is one click away.

Tiled Watermarking

Enable tile mode and your watermark repeats across the entire image in a grid pattern at your chosen opacity. A single corner watermark is easy to crop out. A tiled watermark covering the whole image is not. Useful for proof images, client previews, stock photos and any content you want to share without giving away a clean copy.

Batch Watermarking

Drop an entire folder of images, set your watermark once and apply it to every file in one operation. Download the complete watermarked batch as a ZIP file. Saves significant time when protecting a full shoot, product catalogue or image library.

Add a Watermark in Three Steps

STEP 1

Drop your image

Drag one or more images into the workspace and the Watermark tab opens by default

STEP 2

Set up your watermark

Type your text or upload a logo, choose your font and size, pick a position from the nine-point grid, set opacity and toggle tiling on or off if needed

STEP 3

Download

Preview the watermarked result and download your file, or apply to the full batch and download everything as a ZIP

Choosing the Right Watermark Approach

Subtle corner watermark

Best for portfolio work you want to share on social media or send to clients. Low opacity, bottom right position, your name or website URL. Visible enough to identify the work as yours without dominating the image. Most photographers use this approach for sharing work publicly.

Strong corner watermark

Higher opacity, larger text, still corner positioned. Better when sharing with clients who have not paid yet or posting proof images. Clear enough to discourage use without permission but still lets the subject of the image be seen clearly.

Tiled watermark

Covers the entire image making it very difficult to remove without significant effort. Best for proof images, client previews before final delivery, stock photography previews and any situation where you want to share the image for review but not give away a usable copy.

Logo versus text

A text watermark with your name or URL is quick and universally readable. A logo watermark looks more professional and builds brand recognition but requires a transparent PNG to look clean. For most people starting out a clean text watermark is perfectly sufficient.

Opacity guidance

Between 20 and 40 percent opacity is the sweet spot for most watermarks. Subtle enough not to distract from the image, visible enough to be noticed. Tiled watermarks work better at lower opacity like 15 to 25 percent since the repetition compensates for the subtlety of each individual mark.

Watermark With a Command

Type watermark instructions directly in the command bar:

watermark "© Your Name 2026"
watermark "YourName.com" bottom-right
watermark "PROOF" center opacity 30
watermark opacity 50

Chain with other tools: resize 1920x1080 | watermark "© YourName" bottom-right | convert jpg — resize, watermark and convert format all in one run.

Privacy Note

Watermarks are applied entirely in your browser. Your original images and watermark files are never uploaded to any server.

Common Questions

Can I use my logo as a watermark instead of text?+

Yes. Upload any image file as your watermark overlay. A transparent PNG works best because the background of your logo becomes invisible and only the logo itself appears on your photo. JPG logos will show a rectangular background around them.

How do I make my watermark less visible but still there?+

Lower the opacity slider to between 20 and 35 percent. At this level the watermark is noticeable when someone looks for it but does not dominate the image or distract from the subject. Most portfolio photographers use this range.

What is the difference between a corner watermark and a tiled watermark?+

A corner watermark sits in one position on the image and can be cropped out or removed with basic editing tools. A tiled watermark repeats across the entire image making it far harder to remove without damaging the photo. Use tiled watermarks when you need stronger protection.

Can I watermark multiple images at once?+

Yes. Add all your images to the workspace, select them, set your watermark settings once and apply to the full batch. Download all watermarked images as a single ZIP file.

Will adding a watermark change my original image file?+

No. The original file you uploaded stays completely unchanged. The watermarked version is a new file you download separately. Your originals are safe.

What font should I use for a text watermark?+

Clean, readable fonts work best for watermarks. Avoid decorative or script fonts that become illegible at small sizes. A simple sans-serif in white or light grey at 20 to 30 percent opacity sits cleanly on most photos without looking intrusive.
