Protect and brand your images

Add a text watermark to any image with control over size, opacity, colour and position, or tile it diagonally across the whole photo, then download the result.

A watermark deters unauthorised reuse and keeps your brand on every share. Add your name, handle or copyright over any photo, then fine-tune the size, opacity and colour so it's visible without ruining the image. Choose a corner, the centre, or tile it diagonally for maximum coverage.

Detailed guide

Fast, free and local

There's no account and no upload, the watermark is drawn on a canvas in your browser, so your photos stay private, even sensitive ones. Preview updates live as you adjust the controls, and you download a clean PNG when it looks right.

Choosing a watermark that actually protects

A small watermark in a corner is easy to crop out in seconds. If your goal is to discourage reuse, place the mark over part of the subject or use the tiled mode, which repeats it across the whole image so no single crop removes it. Opacity between 20% and 40% keeps the photo viewable while still making the mark obvious. If your goal is branding rather than protection, a clean corner mark at higher opacity reads better. Either way, watermarking only deters casual copying: it won't stop a determined editor, so for important work also keep your original high-resolution files and publish smaller versions online.

Quality and file format tips

The watermark is drawn onto the image at its full original resolution, so export size matches your upload. Download as PNG when the image has sharp text, graphics or transparency, and as JPG for photographs where a smaller file matters more than perfect edges. Pick a watermark colour that contrasts with the area it sits on: white text with a slight shadow works on dark photos, and dark text works on bright skies or product shots on white. Because everything runs in your browser, you can watermark client work or unpublished photos without uploading them anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Can I control where the watermark goes?

Yes: place it in any corner or the centre, or tile it diagonally across the whole image for maximum protection.

Can I change the opacity?

Yes. Adjust opacity, size and colour so the watermark is visible but not distracting.

Does it add its own watermark?

No. Only your text is added, there's no ToolNova branding on your download.

Are my images uploaded?

No. The watermark is applied in your browser and your photo never leaves your device.

How do I add a text or logo watermark to a photo?

Upload the image, add your text or logo, then set opacity, size, position or tiling, and download. Everything happens in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded.

Can I watermark many images at once (batch)?

Yes. Apply the same watermark to a whole batch of images in one go, which is ideal for protecting a set of product or portfolio photos.

Does the tool add its own watermark or a signup wall?

No. Only your watermark is added, the output is free of any tool branding, and no account is required.
