Processed entirely in your browser — nothing is uploadedChoosing an effective watermark
A watermark works best when it's visible enough to discourage cropping it out, but not so large it ruins the photo for legitimate viewing — bottom-right or bottom-left corners are the most common placements since they interfere least with the subject. For stronger protection across many photos, keep the same wording and position consistently so your work is recognisable at a glance.
How to use Add Watermark to Image
- Upload the base photo you want to work with.
- Fill in the text, position, or second image the tool asks for.
- Watch the live preview update as you adjust the settings.
- Download the finished image once you're happy with the placement.
Tips for best results
- Short, high-contrast text reads best — a colour close to the photo's background can get lost.
- Preview at full size before downloading; small text can look fine zoomed in but disappear at normal viewing size.
- Keep a copy of the original photo in case you want to try a different position or wording later.
❓ Frequently asked questions
Can I edit the result after downloading?
The download is a flattened image, so further edits would need a separate image editor; re-run this tool from scratch if you want to change the text or position.
Is there a limit on image size I can upload?
No hard limit — very large photos just take a little longer to process since everything happens in your browser.
Can someone remove this watermark?
A determined editor could crop or paint over a text watermark, so treat this as a deterrent and attribution aid rather than an unbreakable protection.
Can I add my logo instead of text?
Yes — use our add logo tool for an image-based watermark instead of text.
Will the watermark resize with the photo?
The text size scales proportionally to your photo's width, so it stays readable whether you're watermarking a small or large image.
