Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between text and image watermarks?
Text watermarks add your copyright notice, name, or website as text overlay. Image watermarks use your logo or signature file (PNG, JPG) as the watermark. Text is simpler, image is more professional/branded.
Where should I position my watermark?
Bottom-right is most common and least intrusive. Center is harder to crop out. Choose corners to avoid important image areas. Consider your specific protection needs vs. aesthetics.
What opacity should I use?
For protection: 50-70% is visible but not too distracting. For client proofs: 70-100% prevents use before payment. For personal photos: 30-50% maintains aesthetics while claiming ownership.
Can I use transparent PNG logos?
Yes! Upload PNG logos with transparency. The transparent areas will remain transparent over your image, creating a professional overlay effect.
How do I watermark multiple images at once?
Upload all images you want to watermark, configure your watermark settings once, then click "Apply Watermark to All Images". All images get the same watermark applied.
What font is best for watermarks?
Arial and Verdana are clean and readable. Impact is bold and hard to ignore. Choose based on your brand - professional brands use Arial/Georgia, creative brands use Impact.
Can I remove watermarks after adding them?
No - watermarks are permanently embedded in the output image. Always keep original unwatermarked versions separate before watermarking.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No! All watermarking happens in your browser using HTML5 Canvas. Your images and logos never leave your device.
