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.

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

Are my images uploaded to add a watermark?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser using standard web APIs — your text, files and inputs are never uploaded to a server, so the tool works even offline once the page has loaded.

Can I use my own logo as the watermark?

Yes. Add a text watermark or upload a logo image, then control its placement and opacity before exporting. You can use a PNG or SVG logo, adjust its size to match your image dimensions, and position it anywhere on the canvas — corner, center, or tiled across the entire image for maximum coverage. The opacity slider lets you make the logo subtle for branding or dark enough to deter theft, and you can preview the result before downloading. This is ideal for photographers protecting proofs and creative professionals protecting unpublished work.

Will the watermark reduce image quality?

No — the original image is preserved and the watermark is composited on top. You download a clean copy with your overlay applied, with no loss to the underlying image data or resolution. The watermark is added as a new layer on top of your original image, so the image quality remains unchanged — you can always re-download a clean, unwatermarked copy if needed. This non-destructive approach means you can experiment with different watermark placements and opacities without degrading your original asset.
