Best Uses for Date Watermark
Text Watermark Best Practices
Text watermark best practices: Use semi-transparent text at 30–50% opacity for visibility without distraction. Choose a clean sans-serif font that stays legible at small sizes and position it in an area that's hard to crop out.
Contrast tip: Use white text with a dark drop shadow, or dark text with a light outline, so the watermark stays readable on any background color or texture.
Combine with enhancement: For a polished result, enhance your image before adding the watermark — sharpening and color correction look best applied to the base image, not on top of watermark text.
