Why Use Our Copyright Watermark?
Deter Image Theft
A visible copyright watermark discourages unauthorized use and makes it clear that the image is protected intellectual property.
Tile Mode for Maximum Protection
The tile position option repeats the watermark across the entire image, making it nearly impossible to crop or clone out.
Adjustable Opacity
Set opacity from subtle to prominent. A 30-50% opacity is visible enough to protect while keeping the image attractive.
100% Private Processing
Your original images and watermarked versions never leave your device. Zero server uploads means zero risk of leaks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What text should I use for my copyright watermark?
Common choices include '© Your Name', '© Your Business', your website URL, or simply 'DO NOT COPY'. Include the year for legal specificity.
What opacity level is best for watermarks?
For portfolio previews, 30-50% opacity provides protection while keeping the image visually appealing. For maximum deterrence, use 60-80%.
Can I place the watermark diagonally?
Currently the watermark supports horizontal placement in six positions including tile mode. Diagonal watermarks are planned for a future update.
Does the watermark work on transparent PNGs?
Yes. The watermark text is overlaid on the visible portions of the image. Transparent areas remain transparent in the output.
