Pro Tips

  • A semi-transparent watermark (40-60% opacity) is usually visible enough to deter reuse without overwhelming the image
  • The watermark text is drawn with a subtle dark outline so it stays legible on both light and dark backgrounds
  • This adds a simple text watermark - it doesn't prevent someone from cropping or editing it out with enough effort
  • The whole file is processed locally in your browser - nothing is uploaded anywhere

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this watermark removable?

A text overlay like this can potentially be cropped, covered, or edited out with enough effort in image editing software. For stronger protection, consider a more prominent, harder-to-remove watermark placement.

Can I add a logo image instead of text?

This tool currently supports text watermarks only. For a logo-based watermark, you'd need an image editor that supports layering a second image on top.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. The entire process runs locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device.

What format is the output?

The result is downloaded as a PNG file, which preserves any transparency in the original image.

Why does the text size change between images?

The watermark font size scales proportionally to the image's width, so it stays visually consistent whether you're watermarking a small thumbnail or a large photo.
