See premiumWatermark Generator: how it works
The watermark generator lets you add a text or logo watermark to your photos in a few clicks. Use it when sharing previews with clients, publishing work online, or sending files for approval before the final delivery. It keeps your name on the image without slowing down your workflow.
Text watermark or logo: choosing the right approach
A text watermark with your name or website is the quickest option to set up. No extra files needed, and if you dial in the opacity and color it stays readable across most backgrounds.
A logo watermark makes more sense once you have a recognizable brand. Upload your logo as a PNG with a transparent background, otherwise you end up with a solid rectangle sitting on top of your photo. From there, adjust the size and position until it sits naturally in the frame without pulling too much attention.
Batch processing and presets for larger volumes
The free version handles one photo at a time. If you're finishing a full shoot and every image needs a watermark, the batch feature in premium takes care of that in one go. Set your watermark once, load the files, and let it run.
Presets are worth setting up if you work with recurring configurations, such as a lighter watermark for client previews and a bolder one for your portfolio. You save the settings once and call them up whenever you need them. If you're already exporting images for specific platforms, the Social Media Image tool handles cropping and sizing for each platform at the same time.
Frequently asked questions
What file format should my logo be in for a watermark?
Use a PNG with a transparent background. A JPG always has a solid background, which shows up as an opaque block over your photo.
How do I keep my watermark visible on both bright and dark photos?
Pick a neutral color and add a soft drop shadow or outline. An opacity between 60 and 80 percent usually holds up across different backgrounds without being too distracting.
Can someone remove a watermark from my photos?
A burned-in watermark can technically be removed with editing software, but it takes effort and often leaves visible artifacts. Placing it over a detailed or high-contrast area of the image makes removal much harder and less clean.
