Image Watermark

Adds a text or logo watermark across an image — useful for marking ownership on photos or graphics before they go somewhere public, like a portfolio, a marketplace listing, or a shared draft. Control opacity, position, tiling, and size so the mark is visible without overwhelming the image underneath.

How to use it

  1. Upload the image you want to watermark.
  2. Choose text or a logo image as your watermark source.
  3. Set position (corner, center, or tiled repeat across the whole image).
  4. Adjust opacity and size so it’s legible but not overpowering.
  5. Export as PNG or JPEG.

Common situations this solves

  • Marking draft photos before sending them to a client for approval
  • Adding a copyright line to images before posting a portfolio piece publicly
  • Branding a batch of product photos with a small logo mark
  • Discouraging unauthorized reuse of a graphic shared in a public listing
  • Labeling a screenshot as “draft” or “confidential” before wider circulation

FAQ

Can I use my own logo image as the watermark instead of text?

Yes, upload a PNG (ideally with transparency) and it’ll be placed and scaled the same way a text watermark would be.

Will a single corner watermark actually stop someone from cropping it out?

Not reliably — a determined person can crop a corner mark off in seconds. A tiled, repeated watermark across the whole image is much harder to remove cleanly, which is why that option exists here.

What opacity should I use?

Somewhere around 30–50% is common — visible enough to identify the source, low enough not to obscure the image itself. The live preview makes it easy to judge before exporting.

Does watermarking affect image quality?

No, it only adds the overlay; any quality change comes from the export format/compression you choose, same as any other export.

Can I remove a watermark I added by mistake before finishing?

Yes, nothing is finalized until export — adjust or remove the watermark layer freely before then.
