How to Add Watermarks

Protect your images with custom text or logo watermarks.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Upload your images. Drag and drop one or more images, or click to browse. Supports JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC. Add more images after initial upload if needed.

Step 2: Choose watermark type. Select "Text Watermark" to add custom text (copyright notice, name, URL) or "Image Watermark" to use a logo or graphic.

Step 3: Customize appearance. For text: adjust font size and color. For both types: set opacity (10-100%) and position (9 preset locations from corners to center).

Step 4: Preview and apply. Click any image thumbnail to see a full preview. When satisfied, click "Add Watermark" to process all images. Download individually or as a ZIP.

Text vs Image Watermarks

Choose the right watermark type for your needs.

Text watermarks. Simple and effective. Type any text—copyright symbols, your name, website URL. Customize font size (12-120px) and color. Best for quick protection and attribution.

Image watermarks. Use your logo, signature, or custom graphic. The watermark image is scaled to fit (max 30% of image size) while maintaining its proportions. Best for brand consistency.

Opacity considerations. Higher opacity (70-100%) makes watermarks more visible and harder to remove. Lower opacity (30-50%) is subtler but may be easier to crop or edit out.

Position Guide

Nine positions for optimal watermark placement.

Bottom-right (default). Most common position. Unobtrusive yet visible. Works for most images without covering important content.

Center. Maximum visibility and hardest to remove. Best for images you want strongly protected but may interfere with the main subject.

Corner positions. Top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right. Choose based on where your image has the least important content.

Edge centers. Top-center, middle-left, middle-right, bottom-center. Useful when corners contain important content.

When to Watermark Images

Protect your work in these scenarios.

Portfolio and sample sharing. When showing work to potential clients before contracts are signed. Watermarks allow preview while deterring unauthorized use.

Social media posts. Protect images shared publicly. Anyone can screenshot, but your watermark identifies you as the creator. Essential for fashion brands and marketing agencies sharing client work.

Proof images. Send watermarked proofs to clients for review. Provide unwatermarked versions only after payment or approval.

Stock and licensing. Preview images for stock photography often include watermarks. Buyers see the image but must purchase for clean versions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can watermarks be removed?

Visible watermarks can potentially be removed with editing tools, but centered watermarks over complex areas are difficult to remove cleanly. Watermarks primarily deter casual theft and establish ownership.

What's the best opacity for visibility vs subtlety?

70% is a good balance—visible enough to be read but not overwhelming. For strong protection, use 80-100%. For subtle branding, 30-50% works well.

Will the watermark be on the final download?

Yes, the watermark is permanently embedded in the output image. Keep your original unwatermarked files if you need clean versions later.

What format should my logo watermark be?

PNG with transparency works best. The transparent areas will show the underlying image. JPEG logos will have solid backgrounds that may clash with your images.

Can I batch process images with different watermarks?

All images in a batch receive the same watermark with the same settings. For different watermarks, process images in separate batches.
