Watermark Image
A watermark will not stop a determined thief, but it does two honest jobs: it marks ownership at a glance, and it makes casual re-use of your product photos and proofs visibly pointless. This tool stamps text or your own logo onto an image — sized, positioned, faded, or tiled — with a live preview so you see exactly what downloads.

How to use Watermark Image
- Choose or drop the image you want to mark.
- Pick text or image mode and type your text or choose a logo file.
- Set size, opacity, and position — or switch on tiling — while watching the live preview.
- Download the watermarked result in JPG or PNG.
Supported behavior
- Text watermarks support size, color, and opacity, placed on a 3 × 3 grid or tiled across the image.
- Image watermarks accept a PNG, JPG, or WebP logo with its own scale and opacity controls.
- The preview is the actual full-resolution canvas, so the download matches what you see.
Best for
- Product photos for marketplaces and social shops.
- Proof images sent to clients before final delivery.
- Screenshots and documents that need a visible DRAFT stamp.
Limits
- A watermark discourages casual re-use; it cannot prevent copying or be removed-proof.
- Tiled watermarks protect better but distract more — the preview helps you find the balance.
- Exporting as JPG flattens transparency in the base image, as with any JPEG export.
Privacy notes
- Selected files stay on your device during processing; nothing is uploaded to a server.
- Object URLs are revoked when previews or results are replaced.

Watermark Image FAQ
Text or logo watermark — which is better?
A logo looks more professional for brands; text is faster and works for one-off stamps like DRAFT or a name. Both support the same position and opacity controls here.
What opacity should I use?
Between 25% and 50% is the usual range: visible enough to claim the image, light enough not to ruin it. Tiled marks can go lighter, around 15–25%.
Will the watermark reduce my image quality?
The image is re-encoded once at export, like any canvas tool. Choose PNG for a lossless export, or JPG for a smaller file.
