Quick answer

To add a watermark, drop your pictures in, type the text, choose where it goes and how see-through it is, then press Add watermark. The text is drawn in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

How to add a watermark to a picture

  1. Drop your JPG, PNG or WebP pictures, or paste them.
  2. Type your watermark text, for example your name or a copyright line.
  3. Choose where it goes, how big and how see-through it is, and its color. The preview updates as you change them.
  4. Press Add watermark and download each file, or all of them as a ZIP.

The text size is a share of the picture width, so the watermark looks the same on a small photo and on a large one. Choose "Repeat across the picture" for a diagonal pattern that covers the whole image. Pictures are saved in their own format. JPG and WebP are saved again at high quality, and PNG stays lossless.

Common questions

Can I put a watermark on many pictures at once?

Yes. Add as many pictures as you like. The same watermark is placed on every one, at the same relative size, and you can download them together as a ZIP.

Is my picture uploaded?

No. The watermark is drawn in your browser, so your pictures stay on your device.

Can someone remove a watermark?

A visible watermark discourages copying, but a determined person can crop or edit it out. Put it across the middle or repeat it across the whole picture to make that harder.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. Choose pictures from your gallery, type the text and download the results.
