How it works

This tool draws your image onto a canvas locally, adds a text watermark using your selected style, and exports the result as JPG/PNG/WebP. It is useful for branding, basic protection, and marking previews before sharing.

Use bottom-right for subtle branding.
Use diagonal for stronger “preview” protection.
PNG preserves transparency (if present), but may be larger.

FAQ

Yes. Your image is processed locally in your browser.

No. This tool adds a watermark. It does not remove watermarks.

JPG and WebP are compressed formats; use PNG for maximum fidelity.

Watermark Image: Add Text or Logo Protection to Your Photos

Watermarking deters unauthorised use of your photos, graphics, and artwork by visually marking ownership. This tool adds a customisable text watermark to any image inside your browser : no account, no upload to any server.

How to watermark an image

Upload your image.

Enter your watermark text : e.g. your name, website URL, or copyright notice.

Adjust position, size, opacity, and colour to suit the image.

Click Apply Watermark and download the protected version.

When to use watermarks

Photographers and artists : Protect portfolio images shared online from being downloaded and reused without credit.

Business and product images : Brand product photos shared to marketplaces or distributors.

Social media content : Visible credit on infographics and illustrations that are likely to be re-shared.

Draft and preview sharing : Add "DRAFT" or "FOR APPROVAL ONLY" text to images sent for client review.

Watermark placement tips

Position watermarks where they cannot easily be cropped out : avoid corners and edges.

Use 30% to 50% opacity for a visible but non-distracting watermark on photos.

Use a contrasting colour : white text with a dark shadow works on most backgrounds.

For maximum protection, use a diagonal, full-image tiled watermark pattern.

Frequently asked questions

Can someone remove my watermark?

A carefully placed semi-transparent watermark is difficult to remove cleanly, especially on complex photo backgrounds. No watermark is completely removal-proof, but visible marks significantly deter casual theft.

Is my image uploaded to your server?

No. Watermarking is done entirely in your browser. Your image is never sent anywhere.

Can I add a logo instead of text?

This tool supports text watermarks. For logo watermarks, you would need image editing software such as GIMP (free) or Adobe Photoshop.
