Protect Your Images with Watermarks

Our free image watermark tool allows you to add either text or logo watermarks to your images with complete customization. Adjust position, size, opacity, rotation, and even create tiled watermark patterns. All processing happens directly in your browser for maximum security and speed.

Why Use Watermarks?
Copyright Protection
Watermarks establish ownership and discourage unauthorized use of your images. They serve as a visible reminder that the content is protected and belongs to you.
Brand Recognition
Consistent watermarking with your logo or brand name increases recognition as your images are shared across the web and social media platforms.
Professional Presentation
Watermarks add a professional touch to your portfolio images while allowing potential clients to preview your work without giving away high-resolution, unmarked versions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can watermarks be removed from images?
While sophisticated tools can potentially remove simple watermarks, using tiled patterns, strategic positioning, and semi-transparent watermarks makes removal much more difficult. The presence of a watermark also provides legal evidence of copyright ownership.
What makes a good watermark?
A good watermark balances visibility with subtlety. It should be noticeable enough to discourage theft but not so prominent that it ruins the image. Use 30-50% opacity, position it strategically, and consider your brand identity when choosing fonts or logos.
Should I watermark all my images?
It depends on your goals. Professional photographers and artists typically watermark portfolio images, client previews, and social media posts. Personal photos shared with friends may not need watermarks. Consider watermarking any image you'd want credited back to you.
What output format should I use?
Our tool outputs watermarked images as PNG files to preserve quality and support transparency in watermarks. PNG format ensures your watermark maintains its clarity and the overall image quality remains high.
