This watermark tool puts your name, website, copyright line or logo on top of your photos. Choose a text watermark and set its size, color, opacity and position, or upload a logo (a PNG with a transparent background looks best) and place it in any corner. The Tiled option repeats the mark diagonally across the whole picture, which makes it much harder to crop out.
Photographers, online sellers and designers use watermarks before posting work to social media, marketplaces or client proofing galleries. You can watermark dozens of images with the same settings in one go. The images are processed by your own browser, so your originals are never uploaded to anyone.

Tips for a watermark that works
A watermark should identify you without ruining the photo. For portfolio images, a small logo or name in a corner at 40–60% opacity is usually enough. For proofs you send to clients before payment, a tiled watermark at 20–30% opacity protects the whole image while still letting the client judge it.
Use white text on dark photos and dark text on light ones, or pick a mid-grey that shows on both. Size the text relative to the image (the size setting is a percentage of the width), so the mark looks the same on a small phone photo and a large camera file.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add a watermark to many photos at once?
Yes. Add as many images as you like; the same watermark settings are applied to every file, and you can download them one by one or together as a ZIP.
What file should I use for a logo watermark?
A PNG with a transparent background gives the cleanest result, because only the logo itself is drawn. A JPG logo works too, but its white or colored box will show.
Can someone remove my watermark?
No watermark is impossible to remove, but a tiled, semi-transparent mark across the picture takes real effort to edit out, while a corner mark can simply be cropped off. Choose based on how much protection you need.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The watermark is drawn onto the image with your browser’s canvas, on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.
Does adding a watermark reduce image quality?
The image keeps its original pixel size. JPG files are saved again at high quality, so the difference is not visible in normal viewing.
