Image Watermark Tool

The Image Watermark Tool is a free online tool that adds text or logo watermarks to your photos to protect your intellectual property and brand your images. Over 300,000 photographers, designers, and content creators search for watermarking tools every month. Upload any image, add custom text or your logo with adjustable position, opacity, size, and rotation, and download the protected image — all processed in your browser with zero uploads to any server.

Whether you are a photographer sharing proofs with clients, a designer posting portfolio pieces, or a content creator distributing preview images, watermarking is essential for protecting your work from unauthorized use. This tool handles the entire process in seconds without requiring any software installation, account creation, or payment.

How to Add a Watermark to an Image

1. Upload your image by dragging it onto the drop zone or clicking to browse. The tool accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP files up to 20 MB. You can upload up to 10 images for batch processing.
2. Choose your watermark type. Select Text mode to type custom watermark text (like “© Your Name 2026”) with your choice of font, size, color, and bold or italic styling. Select Image mode to upload a PNG logo with transparency for a clean branded watermark.
3. Set the position using the 9-point grid selector. Place your watermark in any corner, along any edge center, or dead center. For maximum protection, enable Tiled Repeat to cover the entire image with a repeating pattern.
4. Fine-tune opacity and rotation. The default 50% opacity balances visibility with image preservation. Add rotation (negative 30 degrees is popular for diagonal watermarks) for a professional look that is harder to crop or clone out.
5. Download your watermarked image as JPG (with adjustable quality) or PNG. In batch mode, all images download as a single ZIP file.

Text vs. Logo Watermarks

Text watermarks are the fastest option. Type your copyright notice, business name, or website URL and the tool renders it directly onto your image. You have full control over font family (10 options including serif, sans-serif, and display fonts), font size from 12 to 120 pixels, color, and bold or italic styling.

Logo watermarks use a second image you upload — typically a PNG with a transparent background. This is ideal for branding with your business logo. The size slider lets you scale the logo from 10% to 100% of the main image width, and all the same position, opacity, and rotation controls apply.

Batch Watermarking for Photographers

Professional photographers often need to watermark dozens or hundreds of images with identical settings. The batch mode lets you upload up to 10 images at once, configure your watermark once, and download all watermarked images as a single ZIP file. Set up your text or logo, position, opacity, and rotation on one image, then apply the same settings across the entire set. This is particularly useful for client proofing galleries, portfolio previews, and stock photography submissions.

Because all processing happens in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API, your images are never sent to any server. This makes the tool completely private and suitable for sensitive or unpublished work. There are no file limits beyond the 20 MB per-image cap, no daily usage quotas, and no account required.
