Add Watermark to Image

Upload your image, type your watermark text (or upload a logo), and the tool places it on the image. Choose between a single centred watermark or a repeating tile pattern that covers the entire image. Adjust opacity, size, angle, and colour to get the right balance between visibility and subtlety.

A good watermark is visible enough to deter theft but not so heavy that it ruins the image. Opacity between 20-40% is usually ideal. The tiled pattern is harder to crop out than a single corner watermark, making it better for protecting high-value images that you are sharing publicly.

A single watermark is placed once, typically in a corner or the centre. It is clean and unobtrusive, but someone can crop or clone-stamp it out relatively easily. A tiled watermark repeats across the entire image in a diagonal grid, making it much harder to remove without damaging the photo.

Use single placement for portfolio previews, social media posts, and situations where you want minimal visual interference. Use tiled placement for client proofs, stock photo previews, and any image where preventing unauthorised use is the priority.

Use your business name, logo, or website URL as the watermark text. Keep the font clean and professional. White text at 25-35% opacity works on most images, or use a semi-transparent version of your logo. Angle the text at 30-45 degrees for tiled patterns to make it harder to remove with horizontal or vertical cropping.

For batch watermarking, set up your preferred settings once and apply them consistently across all images. Consistent watermark placement and style becomes part of your brand identity. Photographers often use a signature-style watermark in a consistent corner position.
