Watermark photos in bulk

Add text (name, copyright, URL) or image (logo, signature) watermarks to a batch of photos. Nine positions, adjustable opacity, tiling, and rotation.

Anchor

Watermarking is the fastest visual protection against unauthorized reuse of your photos. This tool adds either text or an image watermark to any raster image, with control over position (9 anchor points or explicit pixel offset), opacity (10%–100%), size (relative to the source), rotation, and tiling (repeat the watermark diagonally across the image). Batch across a folder to protect an entire shoot in one pass.

Text and image watermarks

For text: enter your name, copyright notice, or URL. Choose font (system fonts + Google Fonts), size, color, and optional stroke/shadow for legibility on busy backgrounds. For image: upload a PNG (transparent recommended) — usually a logo or signature. Both types support the same position and opacity controls.

Position and tiling

Nine anchor positions (corners + edges + center), or explicit pixel offset from any edge. Tiling repeats the watermark across the whole image on a diagonal grid — much harder to crop out, but visually intrusive. Use tiling for high-value proofs; corner placement for public-facing photos.

Opacity and rotation

Opacity from 10% (nearly invisible) to 100% (opaque). Rotation from -90° to +90°. Diagonal orientation is standard for proof-style watermarks; horizontal for corner placement.

Tool FAQs

Everything you need to know about using Image Watermark Tool.

Will the watermark degrade image quality?+

Only in the watermarked region. The rest of the image is untouched. For JPEG output, there's a re-encoding step (choose a high quality setting).

Can watermarks be removed?+

Small ones can be removed by determined actors with modern image-inpainting tools. Larger, diagonal, tiled watermarks are much harder to remove without visible damage. There's no perfect protection; watermarks deter opportunistic reuse.

Can I preview before batch-applying?+

Yes — the preview shows the current settings on the first uploaded image. Adjust until it looks right, then batch-apply.
