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.

How to add a watermark to a photo

  1. Add the image you want to mark.
  2. Type your text, then set its position, size and opacity.
  3. Download the watermarked photo.

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.
