Why Use Watermarks?

Watermarks protect your images from unauthorized use by overlaying semi-transparent text or logos. They're essential for photographers, designers, and content creators who share work online.

A good watermark is visible enough to deter theft but subtle enough not to ruin the viewing experience. Adjusting opacity to 30-50% typically achieves this balance. Placing the watermark on complex areas of the image makes it harder to remove.

This tool adds watermarks entirely in your browser, so your original images remain private. You can customize the text, size, position, and opacity to match your branding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can someone remove my watermark?

A well-placed watermark over complex image areas is difficult to remove cleanly. For maximum protection, use tiled watermarks that cover the entire image.

What opacity should I use for watermarks?

30-50% opacity is typically ideal — visible enough to identify ownership but subtle enough to not ruin the image. Adjust based on the image content and background.

Where should I place the watermark?

Place watermarks over important areas of the image, not in corners where they can be easily cropped out. Tiled (repeated) watermarks provide the strongest protection.

Can I add an image logo as a watermark?

This tool supports text-based watermarks. For image/logo watermarks, you can use the text field with your brand name, which is the most common watermark style.
