Watermark photos with your name

Updated 28 September 2026

Type your text, choose where it sits, and download your photos with the watermark on them, from a single image to a full shoot. The text is drawn in your browser, free, and nothing is uploaded.

A watermark marks ownership. Photographers stamp proofs with it, sellers mark product and property shots, and anyone whose images keep getting reposted without credit can add one.

How to watermark images

1. Drag one photo, or a folder of them, onto the drop zone.
2. Enter the text to stamp, such as your name or web address.
3. Adjust the position, size, color and opacity, or keep the defaults.
4. Click Add watermark and save the results one by one or as a ZIP.

Placement, size and color

Out of the box, the mark is white, 36 pixels tall and 40 percent opaque, placed in the lower right corner. It stays readable without covering the subject. It can move to any of the four corners, to the center of the top or bottom edge, or to the middle.

Because the size is set in pixels, the same number reads differently from photo to photo. On a small web picture, 36 stands out; on a 6000-pixel camera original, it nearly vanishes. Resize the photos first, or raise the size to match. White text also disappears on bright scenes such as snow, so switch to a dark color there.

Keep the text brief: a name, a web address, or the copyright symbol with your name and the year.

What a watermark can and cannot do

A watermark discourages casual copying and keeps your name on the picture as it travels. Someone determined can still crop off a corner mark or paint it out. Moving it to the center at a larger size and higher opacity makes it harder to crop out. Better still, post images at a modest width, around 1200 pixels, and keep the full-resolution file private.

Quality and formats

The text becomes part of the pixels, and width and height do not change. Supported formats are JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, TIFF and BMP, and each file keeps its own. PNG output stays lossless, while JPG and WebP get a high-quality re-save. The mark cannot be taken off the finished file later, so keep an unmarked copy.

A whole shoot at once

Watermarking runs on your own device, so there is no batch cap and no daily allowance. Drop the folder, set the text once, and download everything as a single ZIP. Your computer or phone sets the speed, and each image can be up to 50 MB.

For marketplace listings, the pipeline builder has a Listing photos preset: it scales each photo to 1200 pixels, stamps your text on it and exports JPG files. Pipelines are free to try on up to 3 files, and Pro runs them on up to 500. Larger runs are processed on our servers in Germany and deleted automatically within two hours.
