Free watermark photo tool.

Two reasons cover most cases. One, ownership: photographers, illustrators, designers, and real estate agents stamp their name or studio logo so the image stays attributable even after it's reposted. Two, deterrence: a visible © Company on a draft proof, internal sample, or pricing mockup makes casual theft and unauthorized resale measurably harder. The tile pattern adds a third use case (anti-theft for studio proofs) where the watermark covers the whole image diagonally and can't be cropped out.

Yes. No accounts, no daily caps, no per-file size limit, no watermark from us on top of yours. Everything runs in your browser. We never see your photos.

Text is fastest for ownership marks and copyright stamps; one input box, no asset prep. Logo is the right answer when you have a finished brand mark (studio crest, agency wordmark, photography monogram). Use a PNG with transparency so the background of the logo doesn't show as a colored box over your photo.

The 9 standard anchors (top-left, top-center, top-right, middle-left, center, middle-right, bottom-left, bottom-center, bottom-right) plus a 'tile' anti-theft pattern that repeats the watermark diagonally across the whole image. Bottom-right is the conventional copyright spot for photo shares; center works for full-frame artwork.

Yes, when 'Keep EXIF' is on (default) and you output as JPEG. We carry the full EXIF block from the source JPEG into the watermarked file. PNG and WebP outputs do not carry EXIF (browsers can't encode it for those formats). Turn the toggle off for a metadata-free output.

Yes. Drop multiple files (or a folder) and every photo is processed with the same settings, then bundled into a ZIP for one-click download. Useful when delivering proofs to a client.

No. Tile mode uses a fixed -30° diagonal pattern (the standard anti-theft watermark angle). The rotation slider applies only to single-anchor positions.

For text, 4% to 8% of image height reads clearly in most situations. For a logo, 15% to 25% of the shorter image side is a typical brand mark. Opacity 50-70% is the readable-but-not-distracting range for ownership marks; 30-50% works better for anti-theft tile patterns.

Yes. iPhone HEIC files are decoded in the browser, then watermarked and re-encoded as your chosen output format. The original HEIC EXIF doesn't survive in this case (HEIC encoders are not part of any browser); you'd get a clean JPEG/PNG/WebP at the same size with the watermark baked in.
