Image Watermark

Posting client galleries or product shots with nothing on them is an open invitation for quiet reuse. This tool lets you add watermark to image files right in the browser: type your studio name or handle, tune the size and opacity, and stamp it in a corner or tile it diagonally across the whole frame. Photographers watermark photo online proofs before a gallery goes out; sellers mark product photos before they hit marketplaces where listings get scraped. A live preview shows exactly how strong the mark reads against your shot, and bulk mode runs an entire folder and returns a ZIP with every file marked identically.

Bulk supported. Drop multiple files and they'll be processed in a queue with a single ZIP download. Same settings apply to every file.

How to use

01

Add your photos

Drop in one image to work with the live preview, or select a whole shoot at once. Bulk mode kicks in automatically when you add multiple files.

02

Write and tune the mark

Type your name or brand in the Watermark text field, set a Color, drag Size between 12 and 200 pixels, and lower Opacity until the mark is visible without smothering the photo.

03

Place it and export

Choose a corner, edge, or center from the Position dropdown, or tick Tile diagonally for proof-style coverage. Click Apply watermark, then download the file or the full ZIP.

Why Image Watermark

Common questions

What opacity works best for a photo watermark?
For a single corner mark, 30 to 50 percent is usually enough to read without wrecking the image. Tiled watermarks can drop lower, around 20 to 35 percent, because repetition does the protecting. The slider here runs from 10 to 100, so you can test against your actual photo in the preview.
Can I put logo on photo files with this image watermark tool?
The watermark here is text-based, so there's no image upload for a graphic logo. If your logo is a wordmark, typing the same name gets you most of the way. For a pictorial logo you'd composite it in an image editor, then use this tool for the text layer.
Where should the watermark sit so it can't be cropped away?
Corners are the easiest to crop out. If theft is a real concern, use middle center or tick Tile diagonally, which repeats the mark across the entire frame at an angle. Tiling is the standard approach for client proofs precisely because no crop survives it.
Does watermarking recompress my photos?
Yes, the image is redrawn on a canvas and re-encoded in its original format, so a JPG goes through one more compression pass. At normal quality settings the difference isn't visible, but always keep your clean originals and treat watermarked exports as distribution copies.
How do I add watermark to image batches from a full shoot?
Select all the files at once. Each one is processed with the same text, color, size, opacity, and position, renamed with a -watermarked suffix, and bundled into watermarked-images.zip. Two hundred proofs take a single click and a short wait.
Is a watermark real legal protection for my images?
It's a deterrent and an attribution signal, not enforcement. Copyright exists whether or not you watermark photo online copies, but a visible mark discourages casual reuse and makes ownership obvious in screenshots. Keep originals with intact metadata as your actual evidence trail.
Why does my white watermark vanish on bright photos?
White text at partial opacity has almost no contrast against sky, snow, or white studio backgrounds. Switch the Color to a dark gray or black for bright images, raise the opacity slightly, or move the Position to a darker region of the frame.
