Watermark in the photo

Add a watermark to your photo—the website name, domain, or a caption. The processing takes place in your browser; the file isn't uploaded anywhere.

When is this needed?

• Product Photos, which are regularly copied by competitors and marketplaces.
• Portfolio a photographer, a designer, or a craftsman.
• Social Media Content, which is often reposted without crediting the author.
• Preview of Works, which are shown to the customer before payment.

How to Make a Sign Discreet but Functional

• Transparency 35–50%. If it's too small, the mark is barely visible and gets easily covered up; if it's too large, it ruins the photo itself.
• A corner instead of the center. The central symbol is irritating to the viewer; the lower-right corner reads like a caption.
• Tiles — for those who are truly afraid of theft. It's hard to remove, but the photo looks overexposed, so it's usually unnecessary for a product catalog.
• White It works in most photos. In bright photos, a dark one works better.

Things to Keep in Mind

A watermark deters the lazy, but it doesn't protect against those who know how to use an image editor: a corner watermark gets cropped out, and a semi-transparent one gets painted over. If the photos are critically important, publish them at a lower resolution—that works better than any watermark.

Reduce the file size of your photos before uploading them to the website compression, and speed up the frame pruning.
