Whether you're a photographer, designer, or content creator, this tool lets you brand and protect your work instantly. Our watermark tool is designed to be simple enough for casual users while providing the professional features that photographers and businesses need.

Key Features of Our Watermark Tool
Text and Image Watermarks
Add either text watermarks or image/logo watermarks to your photos. Text watermarks support custom content, font size from 12-100px, color picker with hex input, and opacity control. Image watermarks support transparent PNG logos, adjustable size from 30-300px, and automatic aspect ratio preservation for professional results.
Flexible Positioning
Position your watermark in any of seven locations: top-left, top-center, top-right, center, bottom-left, bottom-center, or bottom-right. This flexibility ensures your watermark is placed where it's most visible and effective without interfering with the main subject of your image.
Rotation Control
Rotate your watermark from -45° to +45° for diagonal placement. Diagonal watermarks are more difficult to remove and provide better protection against unauthorized use. This feature is commonly used by professional photographers and stock photo websites.
Opacity Adjustment
Adjust watermark opacity from 10% to 100% for both text and image watermarks. Lower opacity creates subtle, professional-looking watermarks that don't distract from your image. Higher opacity provides stronger protection against unauthorized use.
Privacy-Focused Processing
All image processing happens locally in your browser. Your images never leave your device or get uploaded to any server. This ensures complete privacy and security, making the tool safe for sensitive or confidential images.

Under the hood
Technical Details & Specifications
Canvas-Based Processing
Watermarks are applied using the HTML5 Canvas API, which provides high-quality rendering for both text and image watermarks. The canvas processes the original image and composites the watermark with precise positioning, rotation, and opacity control for professional results.
Supported Input Formats
Our tool accepts all major image formats including JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and BMP. The watermarked output is always in PNG format to preserve the highest quality and support transparency. Maximum recommended image size is 20MB for optimal performance.
Position Calculation
The watermark position is calculated with precise mathematical algorithms that account for the watermark dimensions and canvas size. A 20-pixel margin ensures the watermark doesn't touch the image edges, creating professional spacing.
Performance Optimization
The watermark application is extremely fast, processing most images in under 1 second on modern devices. The tool uses efficient canvas operations to minimize processing time while maintaining high-quality output.
