Watermark Image

Protect your photos with text watermarks — single diagonal mark, tiled pattern across the whole image, or a positioned signature. Opacity, size and color under your control.

Everything runs in your browser — your image never leaves your device.

Watermarks that protect without ruining

A watermark is a trade-off: the harder it is to remove, the more it covers your work. The three modes here cover the realistic scenarios:

  • Diagonal: one large mark across the center at ~30° — the proof look. Best opacity: 25–40%; enough to ruin unauthorized use, gentle enough that clients can still evaluate the image.
  • Tiled: the mark repeated in a grid across the entire image — the mode that survives cropping. Someone cutting out a corner still carries your name.
  • Corner: a small signature in one corner — the polite default for published photos where you want credit, not a cage.
  • Include the essentials: name or brand + year (or a contact handle). A watermark without a way to find you is just noise.
  • Keep the original: always export the watermarked copy and store the clean file — you cannot remove a well-made watermark later without quality loss.

Use cases: client proofs, portfolio images, marketplace photos, stock-style previews and art shared publicly before registration.

Your privacy

The watermark is drawn locally with the browser canvas. Your image is never uploaded to any server and never stored.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I watermark my photos for free?+

Select your image, type your name or brand, choose the mode (diagonal, tiled or corner), adjust size and opacity, and download. The entire process runs in your browser — no signup, no upload, no watermark on your watermark.

What opacity should a watermark have?+

25–40% for proofs and protection; 50–70% only for drafts you must make unusable. Beyond that the watermark fights the image itself — clients cannot judge what they cannot see.

What is the difference between diagonal and tiled watermarks?+

Diagonal places one large mark across the center — classic for proofs. Tiled repeats the text across the whole image, so even a cropped fragment still carries your name — better against image theft.

Can people remove my watermark?+

Determined editing can reduce small corner marks. Tiled diagonal watermarks at moderate opacity are the practical hardest to remove without visibly damaging the photo underneath. A watermark deters; registration/legal proof protects.

Should I watermark images for Instagram?+

Usually a small corner signature is enough — big watermarks reduce sharing, and sharing is what you want there. Use diagonal/tiled modes for client proofs and marketplaces instead.

Can I use a logo instead of text?+

For logo watermarks, the practical path today is rendering your logo text in a bold font here, or exporting the image and compositing the logo PNG in any editor. Native logo upload is on our roadmap.
