How to Add Watermark to Image Online Free – Protect Your Photos

Why add a watermark

Watermarks discourage unauthorized use of your photos, establish ownership, and keep your brand visible when images are shared. A free online tool lets you add text or a logo watermark in seconds.

### How to add a watermark 1. Open the free Image Watermark tool. 2. Upload the photo. 3. Add text or upload a logo. 4. Position, resize, set opacity and rotation. 5. Download the watermarked image.

### Best practices - Keep opacity low enough that the main subject remains clear. - Place the watermark where it is hard to crop out but does not ruin the composition. - For portfolios, a small corner logo is often enough. - After watermarking you can still compress the image for web use.

### Privacy Images are processed in the browser. Your original photos stay on your device.
