Why Add Watermarks?
Watermarks protect your images from unauthorized use:
- Photographers — Protect portfolio images
- E-commerce — Prevent product image theft
- Stock photos — Mark samples before purchase
- Designers — Protect mockups and concepts
- Social media — Brand your content
How to Add a Text Watermark
Step 1: Upload Your Image
Go to the Watermark Image tool and upload your photo.
Step 2: Enter Watermark Text
Type your watermark text — typically your name, brand, or "© 2025 Your Name".
Step 3: Customize Appearance
- Font size: Adjust for visibility without obscuring the image
- Opacity: 30-50% is subtle but visible
- Position: Bottom-right is traditional; center is more protective
- Color: White or black with reduced opacity works best
Step 4: Download
Download your watermarked image. The watermark is permanently embedded.
Watermark Best Practices
1. Keep it subtle — 30-50% opacity protects without distracting
2. Use consistent placement — Same position on all images
3. Include copyright symbol — © adds legal weight
4. Make it readable — Not too small, not too large
5. Consider diagonal placement — Harder to crop out
6. Use your domain name — Promotes your brand while protecting images
