Image Watermark Tool
Stamp a text or logo watermark onto your images to mark them as yours before you share.
A quick claim on your work
Before an image goes out into the world, a watermark quietly stakes your claim to it. A name, a handle or a small logo across the picture makes it clear who made it and discourages anyone from passing it off as their own. It is the digital equivalent of signing a piece of work, and it travels with the file wherever it ends up.
Choose text or a logo, set where it sits and how strong it is, and the mark is applied over the image.
Enough to matter, not enough to ruin
A watermark only works if it survives a crop and does not wreck the picture. Placing it toward the centre or across a busy area is harder to trim off than a lonely corner, and keeping it semi-transparent means it marks the image without dominating it. It will not stop a determined thief, but it makes casual reuse obvious and reminds everyone whose work they are looking at.

A watermark that survives being shared
A watermark states ownership in a way that travels with the picture. The practical trick is placement: a mark tucked neatly in a corner is trivially cropped out, while one sitting semi-transparent across the middle of the subject cannot be removed without ruining the image.
Keep opacity low enough that the photo still reads properly — around 30-50% is the usual balance between visible claim and unspoilt picture.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I put a watermark?
Over the subject rather than in a corner, if you want it to survive cropping. Corners look tidier but are easy to remove.
What opacity works best?
Roughly 30-50% — clearly visible without overwhelming the photograph.
Can a watermark be removed?
A corner mark can be cropped away easily. One placed across the subject is much harder to remove cleanly.
Should I use text or a logo?
Either works — text is quick and clear, a logo carries brand recognition. Both can be placed and set to the opacity you want.
Where should I put the watermark?
Somewhere hard to crop out — toward the centre or over a busy area is safer than a single corner.
Are my images uploaded?
No. The watermark is applied in your browser.
