Photo & Image Tools Pro
Watermark Image Pro
Protect product photos, portfolio images, proofs and social media graphics with a visible text watermark. Position the mark, control opacity and size, rotate it, add a shadow and export as PNG, JPG or WebP without uploading the image to a server.
Upload an image to optimize
Drag and drop a file, choose it from your device, or paste an image from your clipboard. Processing stays in your browser.
How to use this tool
- 1Upload, drag and drop, or paste the image you want to protect.
- 2Enter the watermark text and choose its position, colour, opacity, size and rotation.
- 3Generate the preview and inspect readability on both light and dark parts of the image.
- 4Download the final PNG, JPG or WebP copy while keeping the original file separately.
Best practices
- ✓ Use a short brand, copyright or proof message that remains readable at normal viewing size.
- ✓ Choose enough contrast for the image area behind the watermark.
- ✓ Keep an unwatermarked master file for future editing and licensing.
- ✓ Use a lower opacity for portfolio previews and a stronger mark for proof images.
- ✓ Review the downloaded file at full size before publishing.
Common mistakes
- • Placing the mark only in an empty corner where it can be cropped away easily.
- • Using an opacity so low that the watermark disappears after compression.
- • Covering faces, product details or important text unnecessarily.
- • Replacing the only original image with a watermarked copy.
- • Assuming a visible watermark provides complete copyright protection.
Practical use cases
Frequently asked questions
Are my images uploaded?
No. The normal watermark workflow runs locally in your browser.
Can I add a transparent watermark?
Yes. Use the opacity control to create a subtle transparent text mark.
Which position is best?
A corner is less intrusive, while a central mark is harder to crop out. Choose based on the purpose of the image.
Does this remove existing watermarks?
No. This tool only adds a new text watermark.
Which output format should I choose?
PNG preserves lossless detail and transparency, JPG is broadly compatible, and WebP is useful for modern web delivery.
Can a watermark stop image theft?
It can discourage casual reuse and identify ownership, but it cannot guarantee that an image will never be copied or edited.
