About Watermark Adder

A visible mark is a deterrent rather than a lock — it discourages casual reuse without preventing a determined crop. Placing it across the subject instead of in a corner is what makes it awkward to remove.

Overlay a custom text or logo watermark onto your images and documents to mark them as drafts or deter unauthorised reuse. Files are watermarked locally in your browser and never uploaded.

Protect your photos and graphics by overlaying custom text or a logo, then adjust the position, size and opacity until it looks right and download the result. A subtle watermark deters unauthorised reuse of product shots, proofs, screenshots and creative work.

Add a semi-transparent copyright line, or tile a logo across the whole canvas so a crop cannot simply remove it. Position, size and opacity are all adjustable until the mark sits where it does not fight the subject.

Frequently asked questions

Which files can I watermark?

Image files — PNG and JPEG. The watermark is drawn onto a canvas in your browser and exported as a new image, so the original file on your device is never modified.

Does a watermark actually stop people reusing my work?

It deters casual reuse and makes the source obvious when an image is shared on, but it is not protection. A determined person can crop or edit it out, so treat it as attribution rather than security.

Where should the watermark sit?

A corner keeps the image usable but is trivial to crop away. A tiled or centred watermark across the subject is far harder to remove, which is the right choice for proofs and previews.

Common Use Cases

  • Marking proofs or drafts before sending them to a client
  • Adding attribution to images before posting them publicly
