Watermark tips
- Place watermarks in corners for minimal obstruction.
- Use 50–70% opacity for a subtle overlay.
- White text works well on dark images.
- Consider adding your logo or website URL.
- Make sure watermarks are readable without hiding important content.
- Test different positions for the best result.
- Save originals separately before watermarking.
- Use a consistent watermark style across your brand.
A visible watermark is an overlay. It does not guarantee protection against copying or removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my own logo as a watermark?
Yes. Switch to "Image Watermark" mode and upload any PNG, JPG, or WebP logo file. The tool automatically scales it to a reasonable size.
Does the watermark reduce image quality?
The output keeps the decoded image’s pixel dimensions and uses PNG. The overlay changes covered pixels, decoding may apply orientation or color handling, and original file metadata is not preserved. Keep an untouched original.
Can I rotate the watermark?
Yes. Use the rotation slider to angle the watermark from -180 to +180 degrees, perfect for diagonal branding styles.
Tips & Best Practices
- Use 50-70% opacity: A semi-transparent watermark can identify the source without dominating the image. It does not guarantee that copying or removal is prevented.
- Place in a corner: Bottom-right is the most common position; it is visible yet non-intrusive.
- Match text color to the image: White text works well on dark photos, while dark text suits light backgrounds.
- Use a PNG logo with transparency: A logo with a transparent background sits on the photo without a white or colored box around it.
- Keep the original safe: Always save an unwatermarked copy of your image as a master backup.
- Be consistent: Use the same watermark style across all your images for a professional, recognizable brand identity.
