This guide shows a repeatable workflow to watermark images the right way (protect your work without ruining quality) using browser‑based tools. All processing happens locally in your browser (no uploads), which is especially useful for sensitive documents.

What a watermark should do
It should deter misuse while keeping the image usable. The best watermarks are consistent and placed where cropping them out is inconvenient.
Placement and readability
Corner placement works for most photos; center placement is better for high‑risk assets. Keep the watermark readable at typical viewing sizes.
Export settings
After watermarking, export as JPG for photos and PNG for graphics with transparency. Then compress for the platform’s limit.
Workflow
1) Apply watermark. 2) Export. 3) Compress/resize. 4) Spot check on mobile.
Quick checklist (before you download)
- Open the output at 100% zoom and check the most important page.
- Confirm page order and page count are correct.
- If you will email or upload the file, verify size limits first.
- Keep a “submitted” copy unchanged once you send it.
