Choose from 8 watermark font presets

Add watermark to photo with curated typographic styles designed for different use cases.

Classic and elegant

Classic Serif and Elegant Light presets use Merriweather and Raleway fonts. These styles suit photographers and studios who want a refined, professional watermark on their portfolio images.

Bold and protective

Bold Sans, Stamp, and Modern Condensed presets use heavy-weight fonts like Anton and Oswald. These are ideal for marking images as DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, or DO NOT COPY with strong visual impact.

Creative and personal

Signature, Photo Credit, and Minimal Mono presets offer cursive scripts and monospace fonts. Content creators and artists use these styles to add a personal touch without distracting from the image.

Full control over watermark appearance

The watermark maker gives you complete control over how your watermark looks on each photo. Adjust opacity from 5% to 100% to make the watermark subtle or prominent. Change the font size from 12px to 120px to fit any image dimension.

Pick any color with the color picker or choose from preset swatches including white, black, red, yellow, and blue. In file view mode, select from 6 position presets: top-left, top-right, center, bottom-left, bottom-right, or tile across the entire image.

In canvas mode, drag and drop watermark presets directly onto the image for freeform placement. Type custom text or use the preset text like copyright symbols and studio names.

Choose one of 6 positions, a tiled pattern, and an opacity from 5% to 100%.

Why add watermark to photo

Adding a watermark to a photo protects images from unauthorized use and establishes ownership. Photographers, designers, and content creators use watermarks to prevent casual copying and make their work harder to reuse without permission.

A watermark also builds brand recognition. When images are shared on social media or websites, the watermark ensures the original creator stays visible. Use a copyright symbol with your name for portfolio images or a bold stamp for confidential documents.

The watermark maker is free to use and works entirely in the browser. No software installation is needed and no account registration is required. Upload a photo, choose a preset, and download the watermarked image in seconds.

The text becomes part of the picture, so every copy that is shared still includes it.

Watermark any image format

The watermark tool supports 12+ image formats including JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, TIFF, BMP, SVG, and more. Upload any common image file and add watermark text directly in the browser.

After adding your watermark, a JPG, PNG, or WebP is saved in its original format and any other format is saved as a PNG. The app preserves image quality during the watermarking process so the output looks identical to the original, except for the added watermark.

Input formats: BMP, EPS, GIF, HDR/EXR, ICO, JPG, PNG, SVG, TGA, TIFF, WBMP, WebP

How do I position the watermark on my photo?

What is the best watermark to add to a photo for copyright protection?

For copyright protection, use the tile position to repeat the watermark across the entire image. This makes it difficult to crop or remove. Set the opacity between 15% and 30% so the watermark is visible but does not distract from the photo. The Bold Sans or Stamp preset with a copyright symbol works well for this purpose.
