Watermark basics

Why Add Watermark to Photos?

Understand how watermarks protect ownership, build recognition, and make image sharing safer.

Add a Watermark

Watermarks are not just decoration. They help connect images back to the creator, make uncredited reuse less attractive, and give clients or viewers a clear source for the work.

Main reasons to watermark images

  1. 1Show ownership before images are shared
  2. 2Build brand recognition across platforms
  3. 3Protect previews and client proofs
  4. 4Keep public assets traceable

Watermarking without ruining the image

  • Use subtle opacity for public images.
  • Keep the watermark readable but not distracting.
  • Use repeated marks for proof images that may be cropped.
