How to use Watermark image

  1. 1

    Pick one or more images (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF or BMP).

  2. 2

    Choose Text and type your name or a copyright line, or choose Logo and pick a PNG of your logo.

  3. 3

    Set the size, opacity and angle, and click a square in the position grid. Tick "Repeat" to cover the whole image.

  4. 4

    Check the preview of the first image, press "Add watermark" and download the result.

What this tool does

Watermark image puts text or a logo on top of your photos, so people can see who they belong to. Use it for product shots, client proofs, artwork, property photos or anything you share online.

Features

  • Text or logo: type a name or copyright line, or use a PNG, JPG or WebP logo.
  • Font, colour and bold for text watermarks.
  • Size, opacity and angle, with a live preview of the first image.
  • Nine positions or a repeating pattern that covers the whole image.
  • Batch: the same watermark on every image, in proportion to each one, downloaded as a ZIP.
  • Keeps the format: a JPG stays a JPG and a PNG keeps its transparency. GIF and BMP files are saved as PNG.

Limits

  • A watermark discourages copying but can't stop it completely: a determined person can crop or retouch a small corner mark.
  • Animated GIFs are saved as a still PNG of the first frame.
  • Text uses the fonts installed on your device, so very unusual scripts may need a logo image instead.
  • Metadata such as EXIF camera data and GPS location is not kept in the saved files.

Frequently asked questions

Where should I put a watermark?

A small, semi-transparent mark in a corner keeps the photo pleasant to look at and still shows who made it. A large mark across the middle, or a repeating pattern, is much harder to crop or paint out, so it suits proofs you send to clients before they pay.

Will the watermark look the same on photos of different sizes?

Yes. The size is set as a share of each image's width, so a 40% watermark covers 40% of a small phone photo and 40% of a large camera photo alike. The margin from the edge scales the same way.

Which logo file works best?

A PNG with a transparent background, so only the logo itself shows. A JPG logo works too, but its white or coloured background shows as a box; lowering the opacity makes that less obvious.

Does adding a watermark lower the quality?

The image keeps its full size in pixels. PNG stays lossless, and JPG, WebP and AVIF are saved again at high quality (92%).
