Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about using this free online watermark adder.
What opacity level is recommended for protective watermarks? ▾
An opacity of 25%–40% is recommended. It ensures your branding is clearly visible to deter unauthorized image theft while allowing viewers to appreciate the underlying photography.
Can I create a repeated repeating pattern watermark across the entire image? ▾
Yes. Toggle the "Tiled / Pattern" option to repeat your watermark diagonally across the whole frame, preventing unauthorized cropping.
Does adding a watermark modify my original file? ▾
No. Your original photo is never touched. The watermark is blended onto a copy inside browser memory and saved as a new file.
Can I upload a transparent PNG logo as my watermark? ▾
Yes! Transparent PNG and SVG logos are fully supported and blend smoothly over photos at any opacity setting.
