What does an image watermark tool do?
An image watermark tool places visible text over a picture. It can identify your work, add a copyright notice, show a brand name or discourage casual reuse. Upload an image, enter the wording you want and choose where the watermark should appear. This tool creates a separate edited copy in your browser.
How to add a watermark
- Upload an image from your device.
- Enter a name, copyright notice or other short text.
- Choose a corner or center position.
- Adjust opacity and text size.
- Create and download the watermarked copy.
Lower opacity keeps the photo visible while making the ownership notice noticeable. A corner is often less distracting, while a centered watermark can be more difficult to crop out. Choose a size that remains readable at the image's final display size.
Why use a text watermark?
Watermarks help viewers connect an image with its creator or source. They are useful for previews, client proofs, social posts and images shared before licensing. They do not provide complete legal protection, but they can communicate ownership and make uncredited reuse less convenient.
Private browser editing
The Canvas API draws the text on your device and prepares the download locally. Your original file is not changed and is not uploaded to a server. Keep the original without a watermark so you can create different versions for different platforms later.
