    About Watermark Image

    When is it useful? Watermark Image adds your name, shop name, website or “Sample” text on photos — so people know who took or owns them, and your product photos or designs are harder to copy.

    Good to know: type up to 100 characters, then set the font size, colour, opacity (1–100%) and position — bottom right, centre or top left. Long text is squeezed to fit the picture width. The watermark is drawn into the picture permanently, and the result is a PNG file.

    Tips for Better Results

    • Use 30–50% opacity so the watermark is visible but does not hide the photo.
    • Centre position is harder to crop away than a corner.
    • Keep the original without a watermark for your own use.

    Guide

    Watermark Image: a complete guide

    Why watermark your pictures

    Photographers, artists, online sellers and small businesses watermark pictures so that copies shared elsewhere still show who made them. A watermark discourages reuse without permission and promotes your name or website when pictures are shared.

    How it works

    Type the watermark text, up to 100 characters, and choose the font size, colour, opacity (1–100%) and position: bottom right, centre or top left. If the text is wider than the picture, it is squeezed to fit. The text is drawn permanently into the picture, which is saved as a PNG.

    Making a good watermark

    Use your shop name, website or © with your name. White or black at 30–50% opacity is visible without spoiling the picture. Centre watermarks are hard to crop away; corner watermarks are less disturbing for portfolio images. Use the same style on all your pictures for a professional look.

    Common problems and how to fix them

    The watermark is hard to see: change its colour to contrast with that part of the picture, or raise the opacity. It hides the product: move it to a corner or lower the opacity. The text is too small on large photos: font size is in pixels, so increase it for high-resolution pictures.

    Good habits

    Keep unwatermarked originals privately, watermark copies for sharing, and remember that a watermark discourages copying but cannot fully prevent it.
