Add a text or logo watermark to protect and brand your photos.
Add a custom text watermark anywhere on your photo
The Image Watermark Tool stamps a custom text label or a small logo image onto your photos to discourage unauthorised reuse and to keep your brand visible wherever the picture is shared. You can control the position, size, opacity and colour of the watermark before downloading the finished file.
Your photo is drawn onto a canvas as the base layer, and then the watermark, whether typed text rendered with the canvas text API or a second uploaded logo image, is drawn on top at the position and transparency level you choose. Because the watermark is baked directly into the pixel data of the exported image, it becomes a permanent part of the picture rather than a separate overlay that could be stripped away easily.
Photographers watermark preview images before sharing proofs with clients, keeping the final unwatermarked file for after payment. Bloggers add a small logo watermark to images so that if a picture is copied to another website, readers can still trace it back to the original source. Small businesses stamp their photos with a website address to build brand recognition across social platforms.
A semi-transparent watermark placed near a corner is usually less distracting than a large centred one, while still being difficult to crop out completely. Choosing a colour that contrasts with the busiest part of your photo makes text watermarks easier to read at a glance. For logo watermarks, a simple monochrome version of your logo often blends more smoothly across many different photo backgrounds than a colourful version.
Yes, an opacity slider lets you choose anything from a barely visible mark to a fully solid, high-contrast stamp.
Yes, you can upload a small PNG logo with transparency and place it anywhere on the photo alongside or instead of text.
A watermark discourages casual reuse and helps with attribution, but a determined person can still crop or edit around it, so it is a deterrent rather than a perfect lock.
You can keep your text, logo and position settings and simply upload a new photo each time to apply the same watermark style repeatedly.
