Add Watermark - Protect Your Images
This watermark tool lets you add text such as your name, website, brand, copyright note, proof label, or project title onto an image. It is useful when sharing previews with clients, posting sample work, protecting product photos, or labeling images for a campaign. You can choose the text, size, position, and transparency so the watermark is visible without hiding the main subject. The final download is a new image with the watermark included.

Practical guide
Make a better result before you publish
Real examples
- A photographer can add a proof label before sending previews to a client.
- A shop owner can add a website name to product photos shared on social media.
- A designer can mark draft images so they are not mistaken for final work.
Mistakes to avoid
- Do not place the watermark so low that it can be cropped out easily.
- Do not cover the main subject unless the image is only a proof.
- Do not use tiny text that becomes unreadable on mobile screens.
Final checks
- Check the watermark at full size and on a phone-sized preview.
- Make sure the text is readable without hiding the subject.
- Save a clean original copy separately from the watermarked download.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can a watermark be removed?
A watermark is a deterrent, not absolute protection. Place it across detailed parts of the image if you need stronger proofing.
Does the watermark tool upload my image?
The watermark tool is made for quick online editing and creates a new download with your text added.
What text should I use?
Use your name, brand, website URL, copyright notice, or client proof label depending on how the image will be shared.
