Next steps
Usage Guide
Add local text watermarks with 9-position placement, styling, and optional tiling.
1. Use
Load image, set text/style/position, optionally tile, download PNG.
2. Anti-theft
Visible enough to matter; tiling raises crop cost; keep clean masters.
3. Quality
PNG helps text edges; compress afterward if size matters.
4. Copy
Prefer attribution labels — never put secrets in watermarks.
5. Order
Resize for publish size before watermarking.
6. Expectations
Deterrent/trace aid, not DRM.
FAQ
Watermarks render on your device with canvas, so private photos and commercial work never leave it; the tool is free and needs no account.
Enable Tiling: the text repeats across the whole image at a -30° angle, surviving crops and flips. For single placement, put it over the subject rather than a corner — removal costs more.
Balance with the opacity slider: 30-50% blends protection and aesthetics; pure attribution (a corner byline) works at 60-80% with a small font. The preview updates live.
The current version supports text watermarks including tiling; logo overlays are on the roadmap.
Resize to the publishing dimensions first. If the whole image is scaled after the mark is drawn, the text goes soft and its proportion breaks; if you need a smaller file, compress the exported PNG afterwards.
No. A watermark deters and aids tracing, but it is not a silver bullet. Keep an unmarked master somewhere safe and distribute only marked copies; licensing still rests on contracts and master-file management.
