How do I add a watermark to a photo for free?

Open the photo, type your watermark text, and choose the position, opacity, and size — or tile it across the whole image. This tool adds the watermark in your browser without uploading, and you download the result.

Is it safe to watermark photos online?

It is when the tool works in your browser without uploading. This watermark tool processes everything locally — your photo never leaves your device.

What opacity should a watermark be?

For visible protection without ruining the image, 40-60% opacity works well. A faint tiled watermark across the whole photo is hardest to crop out, while a corner watermark is more discreet.

Watermarking your photos

A watermark discourages others from passing your images off as their own. A discreet corner mark keeps the photo clean, while a faint tiled watermark across the whole image is much harder to crop out — useful for proofs and previews you share publicly.

Keep an unwatermarked master of every photo for your own printing and archiving, and apply the watermark only to the copies you share. For old family photos, restore and clean them up first, then watermark the finished version if you're posting it online.
