Watermark Image Online — Add a Text or Logo Watermark Free

Drop an image, open the Watermark tab with Text selected, type your watermark text (©, ™, brand name, etc.) and adjust the font, color, position, opacity, scale and rotation in real time. The preview updates as you tweak; when you are happy, hit Download. Watermarking many images at once and getting them back as one ZIP (Download All) is a Premium feature.

Yes — select multiple images to apply the same watermark settings and download the output as a ZIP. Server-processed images are removed under our Security policy; see the Security policy for handling details.

Both work — text watermarks are quicker to set up and easy to read; logo watermarks reinforce your brand identity and look more professional in a portfolio context. For client galleries, a low-opacity logo watermarked diagonally across the photo prevents free downloads from undermining your licence fees.

Choose from nine positional presets (corners, edges, center) or pick "Tile (repeat)" to cover the entire image with a repeating pattern of your watermark. Tile mode is the strongest anti-theft choice — anyone wanting to use the image would have to remove watermarks from every region.

Pick a contrasting color (white on dark scenes, black on light scenes) or use a neutral grey at 30-40% opacity which reads on both. The opacity slider goes from 5% to 100% in 5% steps so you can find the right balance between visibility and aesthetics.

PNG inputs stay PNG (lossless); JPG inputs are re-encoded at 92% quality, which is visually indistinguishable from the original for nearly all photography. EXIF metadata is stripped in the process — useful for privacy when sharing publicly.

Yes. The on-screen overlay you see while adjusting sliders is only a browser approximation; the final watermark is composited on our secure servers for pixel-accurate, full-resolution output, and the file is removed under our Security policy. We do not sell your images or share them with third parties — but if you need a strict never-uploaded guarantee for confidential imagery, use a desktop watermarking tool that runs fully offline.

Yes — watermarking is free, and we never add our own logo to your output. Batch-watermarking many images at once (e.g. a whole wedding album into one ZIP) is a Premium feature.

No. This is a watermark adder, not a remover. It applies your own text or logo watermark onto photos you own; it does not erase or edit out an existing watermark from an image.

The Font dropdown offers six typefaces — system-ui, Arial, Georgia, Courier New, Impact and Times New Roman — covering clean sans-serif, classic serif and bold display looks. The separate Bold checkbox thickens whichever font you pick, which helps small watermark text stay legible at low opacity or small scale.

The Scale slider runs from 2% to 40% of the image and sets how large the text or logo renders regardless of the photo's resolution, so the same setting looks consistent across a batch of differently-sized images. Use 8-15% for a discreet corner mark and 25%+ for a bold, hard-to-crop-out logo watermark.

The Rotation slider swings from -90° to 90° and angles your text or logo diagonally across the photo instead of sitting flat. A 30-45° rotation is a common anti-theft trick because it makes the watermark harder to crop out cleanly while still reading naturally left-to-right.

Yes — the Quick text row offers one-click presets including the current year copyright symbol, CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, SAMPLE, DO NOT COPY and PREVIEW. Clicking one instantly fills the watermark text field, which you can still edit afterward if you need a variation.

For a subtle brand mark, use Bottom-right position, 10-15% scale, 30-40% opacity and a color that contrasts gently with your typical backgrounds. For strong anti-theft protection, switch Position to Tile, raise opacity to 40-50%, set rotation to around 30-45° and increase scale slightly — this covers the whole frame so no single crop can remove it.

Upload a PNG with a transparent background for the cleanest logo watermark — a logo with a solid white or colored background will render as an opaque block sitting on top of the photo instead of blending in. JPG logos work too, but only if you're fine showing that background color over every photo. Switch to the Logo tab and use the 'Upload logo' file picker; the live preview updates immediately so you can check the look before applying it.

The on-screen preview is an approximate overlay so it can update instantly as you drag sliders; the actual watermark is composited on the server using precise pixel positioning for each image's exact resolution. Position, scale, rotation and opacity all carry over exactly, but minor differences in font rendering or edge anti-aliasing can appear between the browser preview and the final render. If you're watermarking mixed-size images in a batch, check the downloaded ZIP rather than judging the whole set from a single file's preview.

Every photo you add is uploaded to our backend, which composites the text or logo watermark at full resolution and returns a processed file (or a ZIP for a batch) for you to download — it is not rendered entirely client-side with canvas and JSZip. Files are still handled securely and auto-deleted after processing, the same as every other tool on the site; only the live on-screen preview you see while dragging sliders runs locally, as an approximation of the final server-rendered result.

Yes — Pixoate supports batch and bulk processing. Switch to Batch mode, add up to 60 images on Premium or 200 on Pro, set your options once, and every image is processed with the same settings before you download a single ZIP. Bulk processing is a Premium feature; the output uses the same quality and settings as single mode.

Yes — with bulk processing you configure the settings a single time and they apply to every item in the batch — up to 60 images on Premium or 200 on Pro. There is no need to repeat the setup per item, and Temporary uploaded and generated files are processed securely and deleted automatically.

Almost always one of three things. The file is over the 20 MB free upload limit — Premium takes 50 MB and Pro 120 MB. The format is not one this tool accepts, so check the list shown on the upload panel. Or the file is not really the format its name says: renaming a file does not change what is inside it, and that is the reason a valid-looking image gets refused.

Check the input first: a sharp, well-lit original that has not been through a messaging app gives the best result. Then review the settings on the page, change one at a time and run it again — nothing is locked in until you download.

Watermark Image supports free standard use within the published processing allowances. Free downloads are clean — no watermark. No signup is required for standard tool use. Photo effects and AI edits have a web-size limit on Free, with the original-resolution result available through Premium or one credit. Crop, resize, rotate, compress and convert stay full size. Premium supports batches of up to 60 files, with the applicable plan limits shown before processing.

No — Watermark Image runs in the browser on desktop and phone. There is nothing to install, no trial to start, and no license to buy before you can see whether it does what you need. Try it on the file you are actually stuck with rather than a sample.

Open the Watermark tab, switch from Text to Logo and upload your logo file. Then choose a Position, set Scale so the logo is the size you want and lower Opacity for a subtle mark. Select Watermark my photos and see the result. Any picture can be used as the logo.

You choose one of 9 fixed positions, from corners to center, or Tile to repeat the mark across the picture. Rotation, Scale and Opacity then adjust how it looks. The preview shows the spot before you run it.

Each run applies one mark, either text or a logo. Download the watermarked copy, upload it again, and add the second mark with its own position. The first mark stays in the picture because it is part of that copy.

Type X as the watermark text, choose Center, and raise Scale and Opacity until the mark is large and solid. Pick a bold color that stands out against the picture, and use Rotation if you want it at an angle. Then run the tool and download the JPG.

Yes. Upload a photo, type your text or add a logo, set position, opacity, scale and rotation, and download the watermarked copy. One image at a time is free for standard use and comes back with only the mark you chose, and no signup is needed within the allowance for signed-out visitors. Premium adds batch watermarking, which returns one ZIP.

Yes. Switch from Text to Logo and upload the picture you want to use; any picture can be the mark. A PNG with a transparent background blends cleanly, and Scale, Opacity and Rotation let you make it small and subtle before you run the tool.

Open this page in your phone's browser, add the photo, type your text or upload a logo, then choose a Position and set Opacity and Scale. Select Watermark my photos, check the result and download the copy to your phone. Nothing is installed.

Choose a corner position, lower Opacity and set a small Scale so the mark reads as a credit line. Pick a color that contrasts with that corner of the photo. For stronger protection, use Tile with some Rotation, which repeats the mark across the whole picture.
