- 1Choose the image to protect.
- 2Type your watermark text.
- 3Pick placement: tiled for full coverage, or a single position such as bottom right.
- 4Set opacity, text size and color while watching the live preview, then download the PNG.
On a 2000 x 1000 photo, the text YOUR STUDIO at 4% size renders at 80 px in the bottom right with a margin of about 56 px, at 55% opacity: clearly readable over the photo, light enough not to ruin it. Switch placement to Tiled and the same text repeats across the frame at a 25 degree slant, the style marketplaces use on preview images.
- The watermark is baked into the downloaded pixels. It deters casual reuse but a determined editor can crop a corner mark or paint over a faint one; tiled, medium-opacity marks are the hardest to remove.
- Your original file is not changed; the watermark exists only in the downloaded copy.
- Very long text in a single position can overflow small images; shorten it or reduce the size percentage.
Bottom right for a simple credit on work you are publishing. Tiled for preview copies you are sending to a client or marketplace, where a corner mark could simply be cropped away.
About this tool
The Watermark Adder stamps your name, studio or copyright line onto an image, in a corner, in the center, or tiled across the whole frame at a slanted angle, with your choice of opacity, size and color. Photographers and sellers use it on preview copies so the work can be shared without giving away the clean file.
