About this tool

Watermarks deter casual reposting of your photography and graphics on social platforms.

Apply locally before sharing — opacity and placement balance protection vs. viewing experience.

How to use the Watermark Adder

  1. 1

    Upload your image locally.

  2. 2

    Enter watermark text, adjust size, opacity, and position.

  3. 3

    Download the watermarked image — processed entirely in-browser.

Effective watermarking

Corner placement is standard — center watermarks protect more but distract heavily.

Semi-transparent text at 30–50% opacity is readable without dominating the image.

Pro tips

  • Include your handle in watermark text for attribution when reposted.
  • Watermark final exports, not RAW masters you may re-edit later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use custom fonts?

The tool uses web-safe fonts — choose size and opacity for visibility without overpowering the image.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Watermarking uses HTML canvas locally — your image stays private.
