Add a watermark to your photos

Stamp text or your logo on one photo or a batch, in a corner, the centre or tiled. Everything happens on your device.

Drop photos, or click to choose

JPG, PNG or WebP. Add up to 100 to watermark them together.

Need several changes to one photo? The Photo editor does crop, text, filters and blur together.

How to add a watermark to a photo

  1. Choose one photo or a whole batch. JPG, PNG and WebP all work, up to 100 at a time.
  2. Type your text or choose your logo. Pick a spot on the position grid, or tile it across the photo, then set the size, opacity and angle. The photo redraws as you change each setting; drag the divider to compare it with the original.
  3. Download. Save the photo on screen, or Download all to stamp every photo in the batch with the same settings.

Using your logo as a watermark

Switch to Logo and choose your logo file. A PNG with a transparent background works best: the transparent parts stay see-through, so only the mark itself lands on the photo. A logo on a white box will stamp the white box too. The logo is scaled to the size you pick and keeps its proportions, and the opacity slider fades it like the text.

Where to put a watermark

A watermark is a trade between protection and how much it gets in the way. A small mark in a corner credits you without spoiling the picture, but anyone can crop it off. A repeating, tiled mark is the hardest to remove, because no part of the photo is left clean.

  • Corner

    Signing work you share, where the photo itself is the point

    Easy to crop out

  • Centre

    Proofs and previews you send before payment

    Covers the subject

  • Tiled

    Stopping reuse: there is no clean area left to crop

    Busiest look; keep the opacity low

For opacity, 30 to 60 percent is usually readable without dominating the photo. White text suits darker photos and black text suits light ones; for a mixed batch, a tiled mark at low opacity shows on both.

Quality and file formats

The watermark is drawn on top of your photo at its full resolution; nothing is resized. A PNG stays PNG and keeps its transparency, and a WebP stays WebP. JPG and WebP photos are saved again at 92 percent quality, which is visually the same as the original for normal viewing. Phone photos keep the right way up. Saving through the canvas also drops the photo's hidden metadata, such as camera details and GPS location. To post or email a big batch, you can compress the watermarked photos or resize them for social media afterwards.

Your photos stay on your device

Most watermark sites upload your photos to their server to stamp them. This tool draws the watermark in your browser, so the photos never leave your computer or phone, even in a batch of 100. There is no account, and nothing is added to your photos except the watermark you set. This tool only adds watermarks; it does not remove them.

Common questions

Is this watermark tool free?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up and no daily limit. You can watermark up to 100 photos in one batch, and start another batch for more.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The watermark is drawn in your browser. Your photos never leave your device.
Can I watermark many photos at once?
Yes. Add up to 100 photos, set the watermark once, and use Download all to save them as one zip file. Each photo gets the same watermark, sized to that photo.
Can I use my own logo as a watermark?
Yes. Switch to Logo and choose your logo. A PNG with a transparent background gives the cleanest result.
Can I control how see-through the watermark is?
Yes. The opacity slider goes from 10 percent, barely there, to 100 percent, fully solid.
Will the watermark lower my photo quality?
The photo keeps its full resolution. PNG files stay lossless; JPG and WebP files are saved again at 92 percent quality, which looks the same for normal viewing.
Which image formats are supported?
JPG, PNG and WebP. Each photo is saved back in its own format.
Can I tile the watermark across the whole photo?
Yes. Choose Tile across the whole photo. A repeating watermark is much harder to crop out than one in a corner.
Does it keep PNG transparency?
Yes. A transparent PNG stays transparent; only the watermark is added.
Can I add a text signature or copyright line?
Yes. Use Text mode, type something like your name with a copyright sign, and pick a colour.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It works in any modern mobile browser, and phone photos keep the right way up.
Can this remove a watermark from a photo?
No. This tool only adds watermarks.
