Watermark Options
| Setting | Options | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Position | Center, Top-Left, Top-Right, Bottom-Left, Bottom-Right, Tile | Center or Bottom-Right for copyright. Tile for maximum protection. |
| Opacity | 10–100% | 30–50% for subtle branding. 60–80% for strong protection. |
| Font Size | Adjustable in pixels | Match to image size. Larger images need larger fonts. |
| Rotation | 0–360 degrees | -30° to -45° for diagonal watermarks (harder to remove). |
Why Watermark Your Images?
- Protect intellectual property. Watermarks deter unauthorised use of your photographs and designs.
- Build brand recognition. A subtle watermark with your logo or name helps viewers identify your work across the web.
- Prove ownership. In copyright disputes, watermarked originals help establish that you are the creator.
- Prevent image theft. Tiled watermarks are especially effective because they cover the entire image, making removal extremely difficult.
Watermark Best Practices
- Keep it subtle for portfolios. Use 30–40% opacity so the watermark is visible but doesn't distract from the image quality.
- Use tile mode for proofs. When sending client proofs, use tiled watermarks that cover the entire image to prevent unauthorised use before payment.
- Include your brand name or URL. A web address watermark doubles as marketing when images are shared.
- Consider placement carefully. Bottom-right is conventional and less intrusive. Centre is harder to crop out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add a logo watermark?
Currently, the tool supports text-based watermarks only. You can enter your brand name, copyright notice, or website URL as the watermark text.
Does the watermark modify my original image?
No. The tool creates a new copy with the watermark applied. Your original image remains untouched.
