How do I add a watermark to a photo?
Choose the image, type your text or switch to Logo image and choose a PNG, then set the size, opacity, angle and position. Press Download to save the watermarked picture. Your original photo isn't changed, and nothing is uploaded while you work. It takes about a minute.
Can I use my logo instead of text?
Yes. Switch to Logo image and choose a PNG. A logo with a transparent background looks best, because only the logo appears without a white box around it. Lower the opacity so it brands the photo without covering the product or the scene. Test it on a busy photo.
Can a watermark be removed?
A small corner mark can be cropped off or painted out quite easily. For better protection, use a low-opacity mark in the middle, or repeat it across the whole picture. No watermark stops a determined person, but it discourages casual copying and shows who owns the image.
Does it work on many photos at once?
Not yet; it works on one image at a time. Use the same settings for each photo so your brand looks consistent across a catalogue or a property listing. Note your size, opacity and position so you can repeat them quickly. Consistency matters more than speed here.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. It stays in your browser and is never sent to our servers. That matters for unreleased product photos or client work. After the page loads, adding watermarks even works without an internet connection. Nothing is stored, and there's no account that could keep a copy of your pictures.
What opacity should I use?
Around 20 to 40 per cent usually keeps the photo attractive while the mark stays visible. Product photos for sale look better with a subtle mark; images you want to protect strongly can use a repeated mark at higher opacity. Check on a phone screen.
Where should I place the watermark?
A corner mark looks neat but is easy to crop. A centred, low-opacity mark or a repeated pattern is harder to remove. For marketplace and social photos, many sellers use a small corner logo plus their name somewhere less obvious. Test what looks right for your images.
Should I watermark product photos?
It can help, especially if competitors copy your photos for their listings. Keep it subtle so buyers still see the product clearly. Check each marketplace's rules too, because some platforms don't allow watermarks on main product images. Your own website can use stronger marks if you prefer.
Can I add a watermark in Hindi?
Yes. Type your text in Hindi or any script your device can display, and it's drawn onto the picture. That's useful for shop names and local branding on photos shared in WhatsApp groups and local Facebook pages. Check the preview to make sure every letter renders properly.
Will watermarking reduce quality?
The photo itself isn't degraded by the mark, but JPG and WebP files are saved again when you download, which can lose a tiny amount of detail. Keep your original unmarked photo, and choose PNG for a lossless download if quality matters most. Most people won't notice.
Can I repeat the watermark across the image?
Yes. Choose the repeated option to tile the mark across the whole picture, which makes it much harder to crop out. Use a low opacity and a slight angle, so the pattern protects the image without making it unpleasant to look at. It suits property photos.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in modern mobile browsers. Choose a photo from your gallery, add your text or logo and download. It's quick for watermarking a few photos before posting them on WhatsApp Status or Instagram from your phone. No app or account is needed for any of it.
What size should my logo watermark be?
Usually around a tenth to a fifth of the image width for a corner mark, so it's readable but doesn't dominate. Repeated marks can be smaller. Preview at the size people will actually see the image, often a phone screen. Adjust it per photo if needed.
Can I watermark screenshots?
Yes. Screenshots are images like any other. Watermarking them helps when you share designs, reports or quotes and want people to know where they came from. Download as PNG to keep text sharp. Add your website or business name so people can find you when the image is shared.
Is it free?
Yes. Adding watermarks to images is free, with no sign-up and no limit. The tool adds only your watermark, never ours. It's one of the free image tools from Marketiism that run in your browser. Business use is fine, and there's no limit on how many photos you mark.
