Add Watermark to Photo

Add your photos to the box above, type your text or choose your logo, pick a place on the photo and press the button. The preview shows exactly how the watermark will look, and every photo comes back at its full size, ready to download on its own or together in one ZIP.

Everything happens in your browser, so your photos are not uploaded anywhere. You can add up to 300 photos at once, each up to 60 MB, in JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP or AVIF, and the watermark lands in the same relative place and at the same relative size on every one of them.

A watermark is a name, a logo or a short line of text placed on top of a photo. It tells everyone who sees the picture where it comes from, and it makes it less tempting to take the photo and use it as if it were someone else's.

Photographers put their name on previews for clients, shops mark their product photos, estate agents put their logo on pictures of a house, and artists sign the images they share online. A photo that travels from one site to the next still carries the name of the person who made it.

A watermark is also simple branding. When a picture is shared, the logo or web address on it brings people back to you, which is often worth more than the protection itself.

To add watermark to photo online free, you only need a browser. Open this page on a computer, tablet or phone, add the photos, design the watermark and download the result. There is nothing to install and no account to create.

Unlike most online tools, this one does not send your photos to a server. The page loads once, and then your own device draws the watermark onto each photo. That keeps private pictures private and makes the work fast, because nothing has to travel over the internet and back.

Your settings are remembered in this browser, so the next time you open the page your text, position and opacity are already there. That makes it easy to watermark each new set of photos in exactly the same way.

You can add watermark to photo free of charge here, without a sign-up, a trial or a daily limit. Watermark 300 photos, then the next 300, as often as you like.

Because the work is done by your own device rather than a paid server, there is nothing to pay for and no queue to wait in. A batch of fifty phone photos usually takes well under a minute on a computer.

The finished photos carry only your watermark. There is no extra FlipMyFormat mark, no small print in a corner and no reduced size for free users: what you see in the preview is what you download.

Choose Text for a name, a copyright line or a web address. Choose Logo to add logo to photo files, for example the logo of your studio, shop or company. Choose Logo + text to place your logo with a line of text under it, such as your web address or your social media name.

When you pick Logo, the page asks you for the logo file. A PNG logo with a transparent background looks best, because only the logo itself appears on the photo, without a white or coloured box around it. A JPG logo works too, but its background will show as a rectangle.

The logo size is set as a share of the photo's width, from 5% to 80%. Because the size is relative, a logo at 20% covers a fifth of the width on a small phone photo and on a large camera photo alike, so the result looks the same across the whole batch.

Many people look for a way to add logo to photo online free without watermark, because some free tools put their own brand on the result unless you pay. This page does not. The only mark on your photos is the one you design: no FlipMyFormat mark, no hidden text and no lower resolution.

So you can add logo to photo online free and use the result anywhere: on your shop, your website, your portfolio or your social media pages. The photos are yours, the logo is yours, and nothing of ours is added.

Most logos are made on a white background, and a white box on top of a photo rarely looks good. The fix is a transparent PNG: a logo file where everything around the logo is see-through.

If you only have your logo as a JPG or a screenshot, open Remove Background, add the logo and download it as a PNG. The background is taken away and the logo stays. Crop the logo tightly with Crop Image first if there is a lot of empty space around it, because empty space counts towards the logo size.

For a logo that must be readable on both light and dark photos, a white logo with a thin dark edge, or a version in one colour, works well. If your logo is dark, place it on the lighter parts of your photos, or raise the opacity so it stays visible.

A logo made as an SVG file should be saved or converted to PNG first. A logo of 500 to 1000 pixels wide is plenty; it is scaled to the size you choose on each photo.

To watermark images free in bulk, add up to 300 photos at once. They all get the same watermark with the same settings, one after another, and you can watch the progress and stop at any time. Then download all of them together in one ZIP.

The watermark is placed relative to each photo. Text size and margin are measured from the shorter side, logo size from the width, so a portrait photo from a phone and a wide landscape from a camera both get a watermark that looks right for their size. You do not have to sort photos by size first.

Before you press the button, click any photo in the list to see it in the preview. It is worth checking a portrait and a landscape photo, a light one and a dark one, to make sure the watermark reads well on all of them.

To watermark image online here, you set the look in a few simple controls. Position offers nine places on a 3 × 3 grid: the four corners, the middle of each side and the centre. Tick Repeat over the whole photo for a tiled pattern instead, and set the spacing between the copies.

Opacity goes from 10% to 100%: lower values let the photo show through, higher values make the mark solid. Text size runs from 2 to 25, as a share of the shorter side of the photo. Rotation turns the watermark from −90° to 90°, which is handy for a diagonal line across the picture.

For text you also choose a colour and an effect. Shadow adds a soft dark shadow, Outline draws a thin edge in black, or in white when the text is black, and Plain draws the text alone. Under More options you will find the font, Sans, Serif, Mono or Script, the Bold switch and the margin from the edge, from 0% to 15%.

A corner is the usual place. It keeps the subject clear and still shows who made the photo. The bottom right corner is where most people look for a signature, so that is the default.

The centre is for photos you want to protect more than you want to show, such as previews sent to a client before payment. A centred mark crosses the subject and is hard to crop away, but it also gets in the way of enjoying the picture.

Look at what is in the corner before you choose it. A watermark over a bright sky in white text, or over a dark shadow in black text, disappears. Pick the corner with calm, even colour, or use Shadow or Outline so the text stays readable on any background.

Repeat over the whole photo covers the picture with a pattern of your text or logo in rows, each row shifted by half a step. This is the common choice for proofs, stock previews and photos you send before you are paid, because there is no clean corner to crop to.

Spacing sets the gap between the copies, from tight to wide. A rotation of about −30° to −45° gives the familiar diagonal pattern. Keep the opacity low, around 25% to 40%, so the photo can still be judged while the mark stays on every part of it.

Tiling works with text, with a logo and with Logo + text. For a client proof, a short line such as PROOF – Your Name, tiled at 30%, makes it clear that the picture is a preview and not the final file.

Keep the text short. Your name, your studio or a web address is enough; a long sentence becomes small and hard to read. Type (c) and it becomes the © sign automatically, so © 2026 Your Name takes a second to write.

Two placeholders save time on batches. {date} is replaced with today's date, written as year, month and day, and {file} with the name of each photo without its extension. A watermark such as © Your Name · {file} gives every photo its own label, which helps when a client picks photos by name.

Sans is the clear, neutral choice. Serif looks classic and suits weddings and art, Mono looks technical, and Script looks like handwriting, which suits a signature. Bold makes thin fonts easier to read on busy photos.

Photographers often send a gallery of previews before the client chooses and pays. A good proof shows the photo clearly enough to choose from and is useless as a final picture.

For proofs, choose Text with PROOF and your name, tick Repeat over the whole photo, set Rotation to about −30°, opacity to 30% and spacing to around 120. Add {file} to the text so the client can tell you the name of each picture they choose. For extra safety, make the proofs smaller first with Resize Image, for example 1600 pixels on the longest side.

To add watermark to photo iPhone users do not need an app. Open this page in Safari or any other browser on the iPhone, tap the box and choose photos from your library. The photos are read on the phone and never leave it.

Design the watermark with the same controls as on a computer and watch the preview. Press the button, then tap Download; a single photo is saved to Downloads in the Files app, several photos come as a ZIP that Files opens with a tap. From Files you can save the photos to your library or share them.

iPhone photos taken in HEIC are usually handed to the page as JPG when you pick them from the photo library, so they work like any other photo. The same steps work on an iPad and on Android phones and tablets.

Large batches are faster on a computer, which has more memory. On a phone, watermark 20 to 50 photos at a time if the page becomes slow.

To add watermark to image Windows needs nothing extra either. Open this page in Edge, Chrome or Firefox, drop the photos from File Explorer onto the box, or press Ctrl + V to paste a copied picture.

Design the watermark, then press the button or Ctrl + Enter. The photos, or one ZIP with all of them, land in your Downloads folder. Right-click the ZIP and choose Extract All to get the photos back out.

The same steps work on a Mac, on Linux and on a Chromebook. A computer handles the full 300 photos easily, so it is the best place for large batches.

To add watermark to photos without losing quality, the most important thing is that the photo keeps its full size. This tool never shrinks your photos: a picture of 6000 × 4000 pixels comes back as 6000 × 4000 pixels, with the watermark drawn sharply at that resolution.

The format matters too. PNG is lossless: every pixel apart from the watermark stays exactly as it was. JPG and WebP are saved at a quality of 92 by default, which looks the same as the original to the eye; raise Quality to 95 or 100 under More options when you want the smallest possible difference, at the cost of a larger file.

Same as photo, the default format, keeps a JPG as JPG and a WebP as WebP. PNG, GIF, BMP and AVIF photos are saved as PNG, so nothing is lost. If you need smaller files afterwards, Compress Image makes them lighter, and Resize Image makes them smaller in pixels for the web.

Always start from the original photo, not a copy that was sent through a messaging app or saved from social media. Those copies have usually been made smaller and compressed again on the way.

Under More options, Format offers Same as photo, JPG, PNG and WebP. JPG suits photos and gives small files that open everywhere. PNG is lossless and keeps transparency, so a transparent PNG picture stays transparent around your watermark. WebP is small and sharp and is read by all modern browsers.

When you choose JPG, transparent areas are filled with white, because JPG cannot store transparency. An animated GIF becomes a still picture of its first frame.

File names stay the same as the originals with -watermarked added before the extension, such as beach-watermarked.jpg, so the watermarked copies never get mixed up with your originals. Untick Add “-watermarked” to names to keep the names exactly as they were.

Photo details such as EXIF are not copied into the watermarked files. That means the camera model, the date the photo was taken and any GPS location are not in the new files. For photos you share publicly this is often welcome; keep your originals if you need those details. To take such details out of photos without adding a watermark, use Remove Metadata. To turn a PNG photo into a smaller JPG before or after watermarking, use PNG to JPG.

A visible watermark discourages copying, and it reminds everyone who made the photo. It is not a lock. A determined person can crop a corner away, paint over a small mark or use editing tools to remove it, especially when the mark sits on a plain area at the edge.

You can make removal harder. A tiled watermark across the whole picture is much harder to remove than a mark in one corner, because it crosses the subject and the detailed areas of the photo. A mark placed over a busy part of the picture, rather than over sky or a plain wall, is also harder to paint out.

This tool adds a visible watermark only. It does not add an invisible watermark, a hidden code or a digital signature, and it cannot track where a photo goes. For the best protection, share only smaller copies online and keep the full-size originals to yourself; Resize Image makes the small copies.

Keep your original photos in one folder and never overwrite them. Add the photos you want to share to this page, set the watermark, check two or three different photos in the preview, then run the batch.

Download the ZIP and extract it into a separate folder such as watermarked. The -watermarked ending in each file name keeps the two sets apart. If the photos are for the web, run them through Resize Image or Compress Image afterwards; the watermark scales with the photo, so it stays in proportion.

If you want text on the photo that is not a watermark, such as a caption or a title in a chosen place, use Add Text to Image. To join several watermarked photos into one picture, use Merge Images. For PDF documents, Watermark PDF adds text or an image to every page. All our picture tools are listed under Image Tools.

Your photos are not uploaded. Reading the photos, drawing the watermark, saving the new files and making the ZIP all happen in your browser, on your own device. No copy of your photos or your logo reaches our servers or anyone else.

That makes the tool suitable for client work, unreleased product photos, photos of your home and anything else you would rather keep to yourself. When you close the page, the photos are gone from it.

Each photo is decoded by your browser into plain pixels at full size. The watermark is drawn on top with the chosen opacity, rotation, font and effect, measured from the size of that photo so it lands in the same relative place on every picture.

The result is then saved as JPG, PNG or WebP, named after the original and offered for download. The preview uses a smaller copy of the photo to stay fast, but the files you download are made from the full-size photo.

Keep the text short: a name, a studio or a web address.

Check the preview on a light photo and on a dark photo before running the batch.

Use a transparent PNG logo, cropped tightly around the logo.

Use a tiled mark at low opacity for proofs, a corner mark for portfolios.

Never overwrite your originals; keep the -watermarked copies in their own folder.

Share smaller copies online and keep the full-size photos to yourself.
