Why Add Watermarks to Your Images?
Watermarks serve as a visual signature that identifies you as the creator of an image. They help protect your work from unauthorized use and ensure proper attribution when your images are shared online.
To prepare assets for sharing, you can resize images or compress image files before adding a watermark.
Benefits of Watermarking
- Copyright Protection: Clearly mark your images as your intellectual property
- Brand Recognition: Build awareness by adding your name or logo to your work
- Deter Theft: Make it harder for others to claim your images as their own
- Professional Appearance: Show clients previews while protecting final deliverables
- Attribution: Ensure you get credit when images are shared
Watermark Options
Position
Choose from 9 standard positions or use the tiled option:
- Corners: Top-left, Top-right, Bottom-left, Bottom-right
- Edges: Top-center, Center-left, Center-right, Bottom-center
- Center: Place the watermark in the middle of the image
- Tiled: Repeat the watermark across the entire image for maximum protection
Styling Options
- Font: Choose from Arial, Times New Roman, Georgia, Verdana, Courier New, or Impact
- Size: Adjust from 12px to 120px to fit your image
- Color: Pick any color using the color picker or enter a hex code
- Opacity: Control transparency from 10% to 100%
- Rotation: Angle the text from -45° to +45°
Best Practices for Watermarks
- Visibility vs. Subtlety: Balance between making your watermark visible enough to deter theft while not being so distracting that it ruins the image
- Strategic Placement: Place watermarks where they can't easily be cropped out, such as over important parts of the image
- Consistent Branding: Use the same watermark style across all your images for brand recognition
- Consider the Background: Light watermarks work best on dark images and vice versa
- Tiled for Proofs: Use tiled watermarks for client proofs to prevent unauthorized use
Common Use Cases
- Photographers: Protect portfolio images and client proofs
- Artists: Mark digital artwork before sharing online
- Businesses: Add branding to product images
- Content Creators: Protect social media content from theft
- Stock Photos: Create preview versions with watermarks
Batch Processing
Need to watermark multiple images? Upload them all at once and apply the same watermark settings to all of them. This is perfect for photographers watermarking an entire photo shoot or businesses preparing product catalogs.
Privacy Guarantee
All watermark processing happens directly in your browser using JavaScript and the Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to any server. This is especially important when watermarking sensitive or unpublished work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I remove a watermark after adding it?
No, watermarks are permanently applied to the image. Always keep your original, unwatermarked images in a safe location. The watermarked versions are meant for sharing online.
What text should I use for my watermark?
Common options include your name, business name, website URL, or the copyright symbol followed by your name and year (e.g., "© John Smith 2026").
Will the watermark affect image quality?
The image quality remains the same. JPG images are saved at 92% quality, and PNG images maintain their lossless quality.
