Example

Input: A 1200 x 800 photo, text "Sample Watermark", Position Center, 48 px, Opacity 40%, Rotation -30 degrees, white

Result: A 1200 x 800 PNG with the semi-transparent white text tilted 30 degrees across the center of the photo

The text is drawn on a canvas over the image at the chosen opacity. Corner positions keep the whole rotated stamp inside the picture.

  1. Upload the image you want to watermark.
  2. Choose between a text watermark or an image overlay watermark.
  3. For text watermarks, enter your text and customize the font size and color; for image watermarks, upload a logo and set its size.
  4. Adjust the watermark position (center, corners, or tiled), opacity level, and rotation.
  5. Preview the watermarked image and download the result.

Watermarking Photos With Text or a Logo

This tool stamps a watermark on a photo: your name, a copyright line or your logo. You control where it sits, how big and transparent it is, and its angle. You can also repeat it across the whole image.

For a text watermark, type the text and pick a size, color and opacity. The size is in pixels of the photo itself, so large photos need a larger size. For example, 48 pixels is clear on a 1,200 pixel image but small on a 4,000 pixel one. For a logo, upload a PNG, JPEG, WebP or SVG file up to 10 MB and set its width as a share of the photo width, from 5% to 100%. A PNG logo with a transparent background looks cleanest.

Place the mark in the center or any corner, or choose Tile to repeat it in a grid across the picture. The angle runs from -180 to 180 degrees, with -30 as the default, and opacity from 5% to 100%, with 40% as the default. The preview updates as you change each setting.

A watermark makes copying less attractive and shows who owns the image, but it is not bulletproof. A single corner mark can be cropped off, and editing tools can paint over marks. Tile mode is much harder to remove, at the cost of a busier image.

The result downloads as a PNG, which keeps full quality but can be larger than a JPEG original. Shrink it afterwards with the Image Compressor. Photos up to 20 MB are processed in your browser. For documents, use PDF Watermark.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click Image / Logo and upload your logo, ideally a PNG with a transparent background. Set its size as a percentage of the photo width, choose a position and lower the opacity to around 30% to 50%. Check the preview, then download the watermarked photo as a PNG.
Around 30% to 50% is typical. The mark stays visible without hiding the photo. Go lower for a subtle signature in the corner, or higher for proof images you do not want used at all. White text at 40%, the default, works on most darker photos, while dark text suits bright ones.
A small corner mark can be cropped out in seconds, and editing tools can paint over simple marks. Tile mode repeats the watermark across the whole photo, which makes clean removal much harder. No watermark is foolproof, so share lower-resolution copies of important work as well.
The font size is measured in pixels of the original photo, not of the preview. A 48 pixel label is small on a 4,000 pixel wide photo. Raise the font size, up to 200 pixels, until it looks right in the preview. Large photos from modern phones usually need 100 pixels or more.
