Free Online Watermark Tool
Protect your photos and artwork with custom text watermarks. Perfect for photographers, artists, content creators, and anyone who wants to claim ownership of their images.
Why Add Watermarks?
- Copyright Protection: Deter unauthorized use of your work and establish ownership.
- Brand Recognition: Promote your name, website, or social media with every shared image.
- Proof of Ownership: In disputes, watermarked originals help prove you're the creator.
- Preview Protection: Share watermarked previews while keeping unwatermarked versions for paying clients.
Watermark Positioning Guide
| Position | Best For | Protection Level |

| Center | Preview images, galleries | High |
| Diagonal Repeat | Stock photos, maximum protection | Very High |
Watermark Best Practices
✅ Do
- • Use consistent watermarks across all work
- • Set opacity around 30-50% for subtlety
- • Include your name or website URL
- • Test visibility on both light and dark areas
❌ Avoid
- • Watermarks so large they obscure the image
- • Low-contrast colors that disappear
- • Edge-only placement (easy to crop out)
- • Different watermarks for every image
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add a watermark to multiple photos?▼
With ImageWand Pro, you can batch add watermarks to up to 100 images at once with consistent positioning. Single image watermarking is always free.
Can I use my logo as a watermark?▼
Currently we support text watermarks with customizable fonts, sizes, colors, and opacity. Logo/image watermarks are on our roadmap for a future update.
Where should I place my watermark?▼
Bottom-right corner is most common for photography (professional but unobtrusive). Center placement offers better protection against cropping. Diagonal repeating patterns are hardest to remove.
What makes a good watermark?▼
Effective watermarks are: visible enough to claim ownership, subtle enough not to ruin the image, positioned where cropping is difficult, and consistent across all your work for brand recognition.
Will watermarks protect my photos from theft?▼
Watermarks deter casual theft but determined infringers can remove them. They're best for: proving ownership, brand promotion, and discouraging unauthorized sharing. For legal protection, also register copyrights.
