Why Use This Tool?
Who Is This For?
Trusted by professionals and hobbyists worldwide
Protect Client Preview Galleries
Photographers tile watermarks across proofs so clients can review images without downloading unwatermarked copies.
Brand Images Before Social Sharing
Influencers add subtle logo text in the corner so reshared content always links back to the original creator.
Mark Confidential Internal Documents
Companies stamp screenshots and diagrams with CONFIDENTIAL text before distributing to external partners.
Add Copyright to Stock Submissions
Stock contributors embed copyright notices on preview images before uploading to microstock platforms.
Pro Tips
Use Tile Mode for Crop Protection
Repeating watermarks across the full image prevent thieves from simply cropping out a corner-placed mark.
Set Opacity Between 30 and 50 Percent
This range keeps text visible enough for branding but transparent enough not to distract from the image itself.
Match Color to Image Dominant Tone
White text on dark photos and dark text on light photos ensures the watermark stays readable across varied images.
Keep Font Size Proportional to Image
On a 1200px image, 24-36px font is ideal. Too large overwhelms the photo; too small is easily removed digitally.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I protect my photos effectively?
Use semi-transparent watermarks positioned across the main subject. Tile watermarks offer the best protection against cropping.
Can watermarks be removed?
Lower opacity watermarks can potentially be removed. For maximum protection, use higher opacity and tile positioning.
What text should I use?
Common options: your name, website, copyright symbol with year, or business name. Keep it short and readable.
Can I control watermark opacity?
Yes, adjust the opacity slider from 0% (invisible) to 100% (fully opaque). We recommend 30-50% for subtle branding.
Where should I place the watermark?
Bottom-right is most common for photos. Center placement offers better protection against unauthorized use.
