Pillar guide: How to Add a Watermark to Images Without Ruining the Photo
A watermark balances two goals: discourage reuse and stay readable without ruining the photo. Opacity around 35–60% usually marks ownership while keeping the subject visible.
Place a single mark in a corner for light branding, or tile it diagonally across the frame when you want to make cropping it out impractical—common for proofs, previews, and unreleased work.
Everything runs in your browser, so client proofs and unpublished assets stay on your device. Export keeps the original image resolution with the watermark baked in.
Watermarking signals ownership and discourages casual reuse of photos, proofs, and previews. The hard part is balance: a mark strong enough to deter copying but light enough to keep the image usable for review.
This tool adds a text caption or an uploaded logo, then lets you control opacity, rotation, size, and placement. A tile mode repeats the mark diagonally across the whole frame so it cannot be cropped out easily.
Processing stays in your browser, so unreleased and client-confidential images are not uploaded to a server. Export keeps the original resolution with the watermark flattened into the file.
Watermarking workflow
- Upload the image you want to protect; decoding happens locally.
- Choose a text watermark (with color and size) or upload a logo/PNG mark.
- Set opacity and rotation, then drag the mark or pick a corner/center preset—or enable tiling to cover the whole image.
- Export as PNG, JPG, or WebP at the source image's native dimensions.
Common use cases
- Photographers sending proofs or previews before final delivery.
- Designers and agencies sharing unreleased concepts with clients.
- Brands stamping a logo on product or campaign images before posting.
Practical tips
- Keep opacity around 35–60% so the mark is visible without hiding the subject.
- Use tiling with a slight diagonal rotation when discouraging crops or screenshots matters most.
- Export PNG when a logo has transparency or crisp edges; JPG/WebP keep files smaller for the web.
Limitations to know
- A visible watermark is a deterrent, not DRM—determined users can still edit or clone it out.
- Processes one image at a time; there is no bulk watermark queue yet.
- Does not embed invisible or forensic metadata watermarks.

Frequently asked questions
Can I watermark with my own logo?
Yes. Switch to the Logo mode and upload a PNG (transparency supported) or any image. Adjust its size and opacity, then position or tile it.
How do I cover the whole image so it can't be cropped out?
Enable Tile across whole image. The watermark repeats edge to edge; add a diagonal rotation to make removal harder.
Does the watermarked file keep the original resolution?
Yes. The preview scales to fit your screen, but export uses the source image's full pixel dimensions with the watermark applied.
