How to Watermark Photos
Protect your photos with a text or logo watermark. Add a watermark in your browser with full position and opacity control.
Protect your work with a text or logo watermark placed anywhere, at any opacity, all in your browser without an upload.
How it works
The short answer
Open the watermark tool, add your text or logo, set its position and opacity, and export. The watermark is applied locally in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded while you protect it.
Text or logo
A text watermark with your brand or handle is fastest, while a logo image watermark looks more professional. Both are supported with full size, opacity and position controls, so you can match your style.
Where to place it
Place the watermark where it is hard to crop out, such as a corner with some margin. A 9 point grid lets you position it precisely, and busier parts of the image make it harder to remove cleanly.
Opacity and size
Keep the watermark visible but not distracting. A moderately sized, semi transparent mark protects your work without ruining the image, while a bolder mark suits work you expect to be shared widely.
Batch watermarking
If you publish many photos, apply the same watermark to a set before exporting. Watermarking each image with the same position and opacity keeps your brand consistent.
Keep it private
Watermarking runs entirely in your browser. Your photo and logo are combined locally and never uploaded, which matters for unpublished or sensitive work.
Frequently asked questions
Does watermarking reduce image quality?
No. The watermark is drawn onto your pixels and the result is saved losslessly.
Can I use a logo as a watermark?
Yes. Choose a logo image and place it at any position with adjustable opacity.
How do I stop my photos being cropped?
Place the watermark near an edge or corner where cropping it out would remove part of the image.
What opacity should I use?
Start around 50 to 70 percent. High enough to protect the work, low enough not to distract from the photo.
