How to add a watermark to a photo

  1. Upload your photos - Drop one photo or a whole batch onto the upload area. JPG, PNG, WebP, static GIF, HEIC and HEIF work, up to 25MB each - nothing is uploaded to a server.
  2. Pick text, logo or both - Type your watermark text, choose your logo file, or combine the two. Tokens like {year} and {filename} fill themselves in for every photo.
  3. Style and place it - Set the size, opacity and rotation, add an outline, shadow or background box, then drag the watermark on the preview or snap it to a corner. Turn on tiling to repeat it across the whole image.
  4. Download - Choose JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF and download one image, or the whole batch as a ZIP.
Pro tip: working from huge originals? Resize them first and the watermark stays in proportion. Afterwards, Compress JPG trims the file for the web.

Watermarks that actually protect your photos

A watermark tells everyone who made the photo.

It also makes a stolen copy less tempting to reuse.

The trick is balance: visible enough to matter, quiet enough not to ruin the picture.

Add a logo to a photo

Choose Logo, pick your file and snap it to a corner. The 10-30% buttons size it against the photo width, so it looks right on a phone snap and a 50-megapixel shot alike.

If your logo comes on a white box, flip on Remove white background. For tricky colours, the PNG Background Remover does a cleaner cut.

Batch watermark photos

Drop the whole folder at once. Corner positions keep the same margin on landscape and portrait shots, and Scale to each photo keeps the watermark the same relative size across mixed resolutions.

Three or more photos download as one ZIP. Use {filename} or {n} in the text to stamp each picture with its own name or number.

Copyright watermark tips

Write © {year} Your Name and the year updates itself. An outline or a soft background box keeps it readable on skies and shadows.

For stock or client proofs, use a rotated tiling pattern at 20-35% opacity - much harder to crop or clone out. Sharing a PDF instead? Try the PDF Watermark tool.

Before posting, check what else the file gives away with the EXIF Viewer, or strip it with the EXIF Data Remover.

Frequently Asked Questions

Upload the photo, type your text or choose your logo, then drag the watermark where you want it on the preview. Click Download and the watermarked copy is saved straight from your browser.

Switch the type to Logo (or Logo + text) and choose your logo file. A transparent PNG looks cleanest; if your logo sits on a white box, turn on Remove white background or clean it up first with the PNG Background Remover. The 10%, 20% and 30% buttons size the logo against the photo width.

Yes. Select or drop several photos and every one gets the same watermark. Corner positions keep the same distance from the edge on landscape and portrait shots, and Scale to each photo keeps the watermark the same relative size when the photos have different resolutions. Three or more files download as one ZIP.

Pick the Photo credit preset, or type something like © {year} Your Name - the {year} token always prints the current year. Add an outline or a background box so the notice stays readable on bright and dark areas alike.

Turn on Tiling pattern in Appearance. It repeats the watermark across the whole image, and with Rotate the whole pattern you get the diagonal stock-photo look. An opacity around 20-35% protects the image without ruining it.

Yes. Open Presets and click Save current settings as a preset - text, style, position and even your logo are stored in your browser. The Last used chip also brings back the watermark from your last download.

No. Everything runs in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API, so your photos never leave your device. Location and camera data are stripped by default unless you turn on Keep camera info.
