What you can do with Add a Watermark to an Image
Add a Watermark to an Image is built to do one job well, and gives you everything you need to get it exactly right:
Custom text. Watermark with any name, handle, or copyright line.
Full control. Tune opacity, size, and choose any corner or the centre.
Readable on any photo. A subtle outline keeps text legible over light and dark areas.
Free and private. No upload, and we never add our own mark.
Protect and credit your work
Sharing images online makes it easy for others to repost them without credit. A clear but tasteful watermark deters casual copying and keeps your name attached — and this tool lets you place it exactly where you want.
Whether you need it once or every day, Add a Watermark to an Image keeps the process quick and predictable. Because it focuses on a single task, there are no crowded menus to wade through — you open the page, set what you need, and get your result. That simplicity is exactly why a dedicated image tool beats a heavyweight editor for a job like this.
Everything runs in your browser
Unlike most online tools, Add a Watermark to an Image never uploads your image to a server. The moment you choose a file, it is processed right here in your web browser using your own device's power. Nothing is sent over the internet, nothing is stored, and nothing is shared with anyone.
That gives you two real advantages. First, it is private: sensitive documents, ID photos and personal files never leave your computer or phone. Second, it is fast — there is no slow upload or download round-trip, so even large files are handled almost instantly. And it is completely free, with no watermark added to your result and no account required.
