About the watermark tool

A watermark is text placed over an image to mark ownership or branding. This tool adds a custom text watermark with control over position, size, and opacity, previewing live as you type — and it all runs locally, so your images aren't uploaded.

Watermarks help protect photos you share publicly, label drafts, or add a subtle brand mark. A semi-transparent watermark in a corner is the least intrusive; a larger, centered one is harder to crop out.

Frequently asked

How do I make the watermark less intrusive?
Lower the opacity and place it in a corner. Around 40–60% opacity is usually visible without dominating the image.

Can someone remove my watermark?
A determined editor can attempt it, but a watermark still deters casual copying and asserts ownership.

Why watermark images?

A watermark deters unauthorized reuse and credits you as the creator, which matters for photographers, designers, and anyone sharing original work online. A subtle, semi-transparent mark in a corner protects the image without ruining it; a bolder centered mark is better for proofs and previews. ImgScale adds the watermark in your browser, so your original image is never uploaded.
