where a watermark earns its keep
for photographers
Photographer sharing on Instagram or a portfolio site, but tired of seeing your work re-shared without credit? Drop the photo, type your handle, pick bottom-right at 45% opacity, white. Quietly visible; doesn't fight the photo. Hard for someone to crop without ruining the frame.
for previews
Share-but-protect: clients reviewing draft work shouldn't be able to take the file and run. Diagonal tile mode at 30% opacity with your studio name across every inch — they can review, they can't ship without paying. Standard agency move.
for stock
Selling stock images? The preview-with-watermark workflow is the convention: tile your URL or shop name diagonally so previewers can see the photo, can't use it. Free downloads of the watermarked version drive paid downloads of the clean one.
for ig
If a photo lives on multiple platforms, the watermark is the only constant breadcrumb back to your account. Stamp the IG handle in the corner before posting; if it gets reshared on Tumblr or Pinterest, the link still works.
for handouts
Print-and-distribute teaching materials want subtle attribution. Centered serif watermark at 25% opacity reads as 'this is from somewhere specific' without dominating the slide. Same handout circulates wider; people remember where to find more.
for resale
Sketchy buyers screenshot Marketplace photos to use in their own scams. A watermark in the corner with your handle makes the screenshot useless — anyone seeing it knows where the original lives. Doesn't bother legitimate buyers.
in case you're wondering
No. Watermark text is rendered to a canvas in your browser. Your photo never touches our servers — we don't run an image pipeline at all.
Corner is for attribution: the photo comes through clean, your name is a quiet signature. Tile is for protection: the watermark is across every part of the image, hard to crop out, signals 'preview, not final'. Use corner for sharing finished work; tile for review/proof contexts.
A determined attacker with enough time and the right tools can probably remove a corner watermark. Diagonal tiles at 30%+ opacity covering the whole image are much harder to clean. For high-stakes protection, use tile mode or don't share online at all.
Inter for clean modern attribution. Instrument Serif for editorial/print contexts. Caveat for a personal/handwritten feel (good for portfolios). Mono for that 'photo agency contact sheet' aesthetic — '© NAME' in monospace looks period-correct for documentary-style work.
Corner watermarks: 3-5% of canvas width is usually enough. Tile watermarks: 2-3% — smaller than corner, but repeated across the whole image. Tune until the photo still reads but the watermark is unmistakable.
Not in v1 — text only. For an image watermark, run your logo through Background Remover to get a transparent PNG, then composite manually in another tool, or use this tool's text mode with a single character that approximates your mark.
