Complete Guide to Image Watermarking
What is Image Watermarking?
Image watermarking adds a visible overlay (logo, text, or graphic) to protect your images from unauthorized use, establish copyright, and promote your brand. Watermarks deter image theft while allowing you to share your work online with confidence.
How to Use the Watermark Tool
- Upload Base Image: Select the image you want to watermark
- Upload Watermark: Choose your watermark image (logo, signature, etc.)
- Set Position: Choose where to place the watermark (top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right, center)
- Adjust Opacity: Set transparency level (0-100%) for subtle or prominent watermarks
- Choose Format: Select output format
- Process: Apply the watermark
- Download: Save your watermarked image
Watermark Positioning Guide
Bottom-Right (Recommended)
Most common position, doesn't obstruct main subject, professional appearance
Bottom-Left
Alternative corner position, good for right-aligned compositions
Center
Maximum protection, harder to remove, may obstruct subject
Top Corners
Less common, useful when bottom is important
Opacity Settings Guide
- 20-40%: Subtle watermark, doesn't distract from image, easier to remove
- 40-60%: Balanced visibility, professional appearance, moderate protection
- 60-80%: Prominent watermark, strong protection, may affect image aesthetics
- 80-100%: Maximum visibility, strongest protection, significant visual impact
Common Use Cases
- Photography: Protect your photos from unauthorized use
- Brand Promotion: Add your logo to marketing materials
- Copyright Protection: Establish ownership of your images
- Social Media: Brand your content across platforms
- Stock Photography: Mark preview images
- Portfolio Protection: Share work samples safely

Best Practices
- Balance Protection and Aesthetics: Don't let watermarks ruin image quality
- Consistent Placement: Use same position across all images for brand consistency
- Appropriate Opacity: 40-60% works well for most purposes
- Watermark Design: Use clear, simple logos or text
- Size Matters: Watermark should be visible but not overwhelming
- Format Choice: PNG watermarks with transparency work best
- Multiple Watermarks: Consider tiled watermarks for maximum protection
Watermark Design Tips
- Simple Design: Clean, recognizable logos work best
- Contrasting Colors: Ensure watermark is visible on various backgrounds
- Transparent Background: Use PNG format for seamless integration
- Appropriate Size: Watermark should be 10-20% of image size
- Readable Text: If using text, ensure it's legible at the chosen opacity
