Features

  • 100% Client-Side Processing: Your images are never uploaded to any server. All watermarking happens entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your photos never leave your device.
  • Text Watermark with Stroke Outline: Add text watermarks with independent fill and stroke colors, each with their own opacity control. The stroke outline ensures readability on any background — a feature most online watermark tools lack.
  • Logo / Image Watermark: Upload your own logo or brand image as a watermark. PNG files with transparency are fully supported for professional results.
  • 9-Point Position Grid + Tile/Repeat: Place watermarks at any of 9 positions (corners, edges, center) or enable tile mode for a repeating pattern with configurable angle, spacing, and brick-pattern stagger.
  • Shadow & Emboss Effects: Add drop shadows with customizable blur, offset, and color. The emboss effect creates a raised 3D appearance for a professional, subtle watermark.
  • Multi-line Text & Font Control: Enter multi-line watermarks, choose from 8 web-safe fonts, adjust size, bold/italic style, and line spacing for pixel-perfect results.
  • Interactive Before/After Preview: Drag the comparison slider to see the original and watermarked image side by side in real time, helping you fine-tune opacity and placement.
  • Batch Processing with ZIP Download: Process up to 20 images at once with the same watermark settings. Download all watermarked images as a single ZIP file.

How to Use

  1. Upload Images: Click the drop zone, drag and drop files, or paste from clipboard. Supports JPEG, PNG, and WebP up to 50 MB each (20 files max).
  2. Choose Watermark Type: Select the "Text Watermark" tab for text-based watermarks or "Logo / Image" tab to use your own logo file.
  3. Customize Settings: Adjust text content, font, size, colors, opacity, stroke outline, effects (shadow/emboss), position, rotation, and tile/repeat options. The live preview updates in real time.
  4. Apply Watermark: Click "Apply Watermark" on individual images or "Watermark All" for batch processing. Use the before/after slider to compare results.
  5. Choose Output Format: Select PNG (lossless) or JPEG (smaller file size) with quality control.
  6. Download: Download individual watermarked images or use "Download All (ZIP)" for batch downloads.

Important Notes

  • Font rendering may vary slightly across operating systems and browsers, as this tool uses web-safe system fonts.
  • For logo watermarks, PNG files with transparent backgrounds produce the best results.
  • Very large images (e.g., 4K+) with tile mode enabled may take a moment to process due to the number of watermark instances rendered.
  • The watermark is permanently embedded into the output image. It cannot be removed from the downloaded file.
  • Always verify the watermark placement and opacity on the preview before processing your final images.
