How to Add a Watermark to Your Photos (Free, No Install)

When you share photos on social media or in a portfolio, anyone can download and repost them without credit. A watermark stamps your name or a © line directly onto the image, making it clear who the photo belongs to. Tiling the watermark across the whole image means that even if someone crops one area, the mark remains elsewhere.

Watermarks also work as passive marketing. Every time a photo gets shared, your name or website URL travels with it. Keep the opacity low — around 30 to 50% — and the mark stays visible without covering what makes the photo worth sharing.

No installation needed. Open the tool below, upload your image, and adjust to taste — position, color, size, and opacity all update the live preview in real time so you can see exactly what you'll get before downloading.

If theft is a concern, enable tiling. With the watermark repeated across the entire image, cropping one spot still leaves the mark elsewhere — far harder to remove.

To mark your photo without covering it, drop the opacity to around 30–50%. A dark mark reads well on bright photos; white works best on dark ones. Pick the color while watching the preview so you can see the result before committing.

Switching fonts changes the whole feel. A clean sans-serif looks professional; a handwritten style adds personality. The tool supports non-Latin text, numbers, and symbols — watermark in any language or style you like.

All processing happens inside your browser. Your images are never sent to a server, so you can work with personal or sensitive photos without any worry. Your original file stays untouched — only the watermarked copy is saved when you download.

A PNG upload is saved as PNG; JPG and WebP uploads are saved as JPG. The tool currently supports text watermarks — your name, a © line, a website URL, or anything else you can type. Choose a font and color that fit your style and it'll look polished.
