Why Watermark Images
Watermarks protect intellectual property by overlaying a visible mark that identifies the copyright holder. They deter unauthorized use while still allowing the image to be previewed and evaluated.
Watermark Types
Text Watermarks
Simple text overlay with your name, brand, or copyright notice. Use a semi-transparent white or black text with a subtle drop shadow for visibility on any background.
Logo Watermarks
Your brand logo overlaid on the image. PNG logos with transparency work best. Size the logo to 10-20% of the image width for visibility without obstruction.
Best Practices
- Opacity: 30-50% transparency balances visibility and aesthetics
- Position: Bottom-right is standard; center for maximum protection
- Size: Large enough to be visible, small enough not to ruin the image
- Repetition: Tiled watermarks prevent cropping to remove them
- Contrast: Use white text on dark images, dark on light images
