How to watermark an image
- Drop your photos into the box, choose files, or paste one. Every image gets the same watermark.
- Type your Watermark text, or choose Logo and pick a picture. Then choose One corner or Repeated across, or click on the preview to place it exactly. Adjust the size and opacity while you watch.
- Download each photo on its own, or click Download all to get them together in a zip.
Corner or tiled watermark?
A corner watermark is small and polite. It credits you without spoiling the picture, which suits portfolios, social posts and photos you’re happy to share. The catch is that it’s easy to crop out: trim a few percent off the edge and it’s gone.
Repeated across prints the text diagonally over the whole image in staggered rows. Nobody can crop it away without losing the picture, so it’s the better choice for proofs you send to clients before they pay, stock previews and product photos that tend to get copied. Drop the opacity to around 20 to 30% so the photo still shows through.
What a watermark can and can’t do
A watermark makes copying less tempting and keeps your name attached when a picture gets shared around. It won’t stop someone who is determined: retouching tools can paint out a corner mark, and even a tiled one can be worked around with enough effort. Treat it as a deterrent, not a lock.
A few habits help:
- Keep your original, unmarked files somewhere safe. The watermark is part of the new image and can’t be removed later.
- Post a smaller version. A photo resized to around 1500 pixels is fine on screen but poor for printing.
- Phone photos often carry your location. Remove the EXIF data before you share them publicly.
