Step-by-Step Guide

4 steps · takes under 1 minute

1

Upload your images

Select multiple JPG or PNG files — there is no hard limit on the number of images. The tool processes them entirely in your browser, so no files are sent to any server.

2

Set your watermark text

Type your watermark text — typically your name, website, or copyright notice (e.g. © Jane Smith Photography 2025). Keep it concise so it does not dominate the image.

3

Customise position and opacity

Choose a corner or centre placement. Reduce opacity to 30–50% for a subtle watermark that protects without distracting from the image. Increase to 70–90% if the primary goal is prevention of unauthorised use.

4

Apply to all images and download as ZIP

Click Watermark All to apply your settings to every uploaded image simultaneously. Download the complete set as a ZIP file ready to share, upload, or send to a client.

🔒

Frequently Asked Questions

4 questions answered

Does watermarking prevent image theft?

A text watermark deters casual theft and makes it harder to pass your image off as someone else's work. It does not prevent determined theft — for high-value images, embed metadata and register copyright with your national copyright office.

Where should I place a watermark?

Bottom-right or bottom-left corners are standard and least intrusive. Centre placement with low opacity is more aggressive but harder to crop out. Avoid the very edge — the watermark can be cropped easily.

What opacity should a watermark be?

For sharing on social media or client proofs: 40–60% opacity is common — visible but not distracting. For stock images or images you want to protect strongly: 70–90% opacity.

Can I watermark photos with my logo instead of text?

The bulk watermark tool applies text watermarks. For logo watermarks, use the standard Watermark Tool which supports uploading a PNG logo image.
