Watermarks protect your images from unauthorized use and establish ownership. Whether you're a photographer, designer, or content creator, adding watermarks helps prevent theft and promotes brand recognition. Our tool supports text and logo watermarks with full positioning and transparency control.
Bottom-right corner is standard for subtle branding. Center watermarks provide maximum protection but are more intrusive. Consider diagonal watermarks for maximum coverage without obscuring content.
30-50% opacity is ideal—visible enough to deter theft but subtle enough not to distract. Critical images may need 60-80% opacity for stronger protection.
Logos look more professional and build brand recognition. Text watermarks are simpler and work well for copyright notices. Many creators use both—logo for branding, text for copyright info.
Simple watermarks can potentially be removed with advanced tools. Use larger, semi-transparent watermarks covering important areas for better protection. No watermark is completely theft-proof.
PNG preserves quality with transparency support. JPG creates smaller files suitable for web sharing. Use PNG for final archives, JPG for web publishing.
The watermarking process itself doesn't reduce quality. However, saving in lossy formats like JPG may introduce compression artifacts. Save at high quality (90%+) to maintain clarity.
