How to use the Watermark Image
- Choose an image.
- Type your watermark text.
- Adjust position, size, opacity and angle.
- Download the watermarked image.
What does this tool do?
The watermark is scaled to the image, so it looks the same on small and large photos. A repeating pattern is harder to crop out than a single corner mark.
Why use it?
- Protect photos you post online.
- Mark drafts and proofs for clients.
- Brand images for social media.
Tip
Around 30–50% opacity is visible without ruining the photo. For proofs, use “Repeat across image”.
Accuracy and limits
- Watermarks discourage casual copying but can't prevent determined editing.

Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device, which is why it works even on a slow connection.
Can a watermark be removed?
Determined people can remove or crop out simple watermarks, especially a small one in a corner. A larger, semi-transparent, repeating watermark across the image is much harder to remove cleanly.
