How to add a watermark to a photo
- Choose the watermark type: Text or Logo image.
- For text, type your words and pick a colour. For a logo, select your logo file.
- Set the width, opacity and position. Use the nine-position grid, or turn on Repeat across the whole image for a tiled pattern.
- Select Choose files and add your photos. Each one is stamped and shown in the list.
- Select Download for one photo, or Download all for a ZIP.
Text or logo
A text watermark is quick and works for a name, a website or a copyright line such as © Your name. The tool adds a thin outline in a contrasting colour so the text stays readable on both light and dark parts of a photo. A logo watermark keeps your brand look. Use a PNG with a transparent background so only the shape is stamped.
Position, size and opacity
Corner positions are discreet and suit portfolios. A centred watermark protects a photo better but covers more of it. Keep opacity between 30 and 60 percent for a mark that is visible without ruining the picture. The size setting is the watermark width as a share of the photo width, so it looks the same on a small image and a large one.
Tile mode
Tile mode repeats the mark across the image at an angle. It is the best choice for proofs and previews that you send to clients before payment, because cropping a single corner does not remove it.
Tips
- Resize first with the image resizer, then stamp, so the watermark is sharp at the final size.
- Add a caption or a title with add text to image.
- Brighten a dark photo first with brightness and contrast.
- Remove location data from the stamped copy with remove EXIF data.
