About this tool

This image watermark tool helps you protect photos and graphics by adding a visible mark directly in your browser. It is a simple, privacy-first way to apply text or logo watermarks without uploading your files or installing software. Whether you are a photographer, a small business owner, or just sharing personal images online, the tool gives you a fast way to add ownership or branding before you post.

A watermark is a semi-transparent layer placed on top of an image. The idea is to make the image clearly attributed while keeping the content visible. You can use a simple text label like your name, website, or copyright notice, or you can add a logo for a more polished look. Placement and opacity matter: corner stamps are subtle but can be cropped, while tiled patterns are more resistant to removal. This tool lets you choose the style that fits your needs.

To use the watermark tool step by step:

  1. Upload your image and choose whether you want a text watermark or a logo.
  2. Enter your text or select a logo file, then set the size, opacity, and rotation.
  3. Pick a position (corner, center, or free placement) or enable tiling for a repeated pattern.
  4. Preview the result and fine-tune spacing, alignment, and transparency.
  5. Export the final image in your preferred format, such as PNG, JPEG, or WebP.

Real-world uses are common. Photographers add watermarks to portfolio images before sharing on social media. E-commerce sellers place a small brand mark on product photos to reduce uncredited reuse. Teachers and creators label diagrams and worksheets before posting online. If you are looking for an online watermark tool, a quick way to add a logo to photos, or a browser-based photo watermark generator, this page gives you a straightforward solution that works in seconds.

Because everything runs locally in your browser, your images stay on your device. That makes it a safe choice for sensitive or client work while still delivering a fast, simple workflow.

5 Fun Facts about Watermarks

Opacity isn’t linear

Dropping opacity from 20% to 10% halves perceived strength. Tiny changes at low opacities make big visual differences.

Visibility curve

Tiling beats corners

A tiled watermark survives most crops. Corner stamps vanish the moment someone trims the image for social posts.

Tamper deterrent

Rotation = anti-bot

A slight rotation (5–15°) makes pattern removal harder for basic scripts that expect horizontal repeats.

Pattern breaker

Logo whites need padding

White logos disappear on bright photos. A thin shadow or outline (or darker fill) keeps them legible without cranking opacity.

Readability

Save a template

Reusing the same rotation, spacing, and opacity makes brand marks consistent—and faster to apply across batches.
