Key takeaways
- Watermark Image stamps text across a photo — your name, a copyright notice, or 'Proof' for a client preview.
- Common for photographers sharing draft previews, or anyone posting original photos publicly and wanting some attribution visible.
- Applied directly in your browser, with the watermark text and position you choose.
Watermarking a photo
Open Watermark Image, drop in your photo, type the watermark text, adjust its position if needed, and download.
Frequently asked questions
Does a watermark actually stop someone from using my photo?
Not completely — a determined person can crop or edit around it — but a visible watermark discourages casual reuse and makes the source clear, which is usually the practical goal for sharing previews or social posts.
Can I watermark a PDF the same way?
Yes, use [Watermark PDF](/watermark-pdf) for documents instead of photos.
