Put a watermark on your images

Put your name or a copyright notice onto an image. You choose the wording, the position, the size and how strongly it shows. Batch several images at once and they come back together.

Drop images here to watermark JPEG or PNG. Several at once is fine.

    How to watermark image

    1. Drop in one or more images.
    2. Type the watermark text, then pick a position — including a tiled option that repeats it across the whole image.
    3. Adjust size, opacity and colour until it reads the way you want.
    4. Click Watermark and download the result.

    Why this image tool is private

    The watermark is drawn into the image data in your browser and the file is re-encoded locally. Your unpublished work is never sent anywhere, which is the whole point of watermarking it in the first place.

    Other tools in this category upload your file to a server, process it in the cloud, and return a download link. That means your document sits on someone else's disk — often with a retention window measured in hours. Here, the file is read by your browser, transformed in memory, and saved straight back to your disk. You can watch it happen in the live check above: the counter for files uploaded stays at zero.

    Frequently asked

    Should I use the tiled option?
    Tiling repeats the text diagonally across the image, which makes it much harder to crop out. It is the better choice for images you expect to circulate. A single corner mark is easier to read and easier to remove.
    Can a watermark be removed?
    Yes, by anyone determined enough. Cropping, painting over, or content-aware fill can all defeat it. A watermark discourages casual reuse and asserts authorship; it is not a technical protection.
    Why the shadow behind the text?
    Light text on a light background would vanish without it. A soft dark drop shadow keeps the mark legible wherever it lands, which matters when the position is fixed but the image content is not.
    Which colour should I choose?
    White with a shadow is the safest default, because it survives both dark and light areas. Black suits images that are uniformly light, such as documents.
    Can I watermark a PDF?
    Not with this tool. This one is for images; a PDF watermark is a different piece of work because it has to be drawn onto each page.
