Watermark Image — Text Watermark, Free, In-Browser
Protect your photos with custom text watermarks using our free browser-based tool. Control font, color, opacity, size, rotation, and position — or use tiled watermarks for maximum coverage. All images are processed locally in your browser and are never uploaded to any server, ensuring your photos stay completely private.
A watermark is a deterrent, not a lock, and the settings here reflect that. A single logo in a corner is easy to crop out; a tiled watermark at low opacity across the whole frame is not, which is why stock libraries use it. Opacity is the trade-off you actually tune: high enough to survive a screenshot, low enough that the picture is still worth looking at. Text, font, colour, size, rotation, and position are all adjustable, and the result is rendered locally so the unwatermarked original never leaves your device.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add a watermark to a photo without Photoshop?
Upload your image to our free online watermark tool, type your watermark text, customize the font, size, color, and opacity, then position it on your image. Click download to save. No software installation, account, or Photoshop needed — it works right in your browser.
What is a tiled watermark and why should I use one?
A tiled watermark repeats your text across the entire image in a grid pattern. This makes it much harder for anyone to crop out or remove the watermark, providing stronger protection for your intellectual property compared to a single-corner watermark.
Are my photos safe when using an online watermark tool?
With our tool, absolutely. All processing happens locally in your browser — your images are never uploaded to any server. No one, including us, can access your files.
Can someone remove my watermark?
A corner logo can usually be cropped or cloned out in minutes. A tiled, semi-transparent watermark across the whole image is much harder to remove without visibly damaging the picture, which is why stock libraries use that pattern. Treat any watermark as a deterrent and a proof of origin, not as protection.
What opacity works best?
Somewhere between 25% and 45% for most photos. Below 20% it is easy to erase and easy to miss; above 50% it starts competing with the image. Test on the busiest part of the picture, since a watermark that reads clearly on a plain sky can disappear entirely over detail.
