Quick Tool Overview

Add Watermark to Image stamps text or a logo across a photo, in one corner or tiled over the whole frame. A corner mark is unobtrusive and easy to crop out; a tiled mark is intrusive and very hard to remove, which is why proofs use it. Opacity, size, rotation and an outline for light-on-light cases are all adjustable.

About the Add Watermark to Image

A watermark is a deterrent, not a lock. Anyone determined enough can remove one, but the point is to make casual reuse obvious and to carry attribution wherever the file goes.

The choice that matters is corner or tiled. A corner mark is unobtrusive and easy to crop out; a tiled mark across the whole frame is intrusive and very hard to remove, which is why proofs and previews use it. Both are here, along with text or an uploaded logo, full control of opacity, size, rotation and colour, and an outline option that keeps a light mark readable over a light photograph.

Key features of the Add Watermark to Image

Corner or tiled

A single unobtrusive mark for published work, or a full tiled grid for proofs where removal must be impractical.

Text or your own logo

Upload a PNG and its transparency is preserved, so only the mark is drawn rather than a white box.

Readable on any background

An optional outline and shadow keep a light watermark visible over a light photograph.

Rotation and opacity

A diagonal mark at 30 percent is the proof convention, and both are controls rather than assumptions.

Nothing uploaded

Marking happens in your browser, so unpublished work never leaves the machine to get watermarked.

Frequently asked questions

It deters casual reuse and carries attribution, which is most of the value. It does not prevent theft — a determined person can crop or retouch one out, especially a corner mark.
