How do I use the Add Watermark to Image?

To add a watermark to an image, add your photos, choose Text or Logo, set the size, opacity, rotation and position (or tile it across the image), check the live preview and press Apply. The same watermark is stamped on every photo in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

About the Add Watermark to Image Online by Websolindia

Put your name or logo on photos before you share them. Choose text or an image, fine-tune the size, opacity and angle, and place it in a corner, the centre, or repeated across the whole picture. It is a free tool from Websolindia, a New Delhi website design and SEO company that builds fast, image-optimised websites.

Unlike most online image tools, this one does not upload your pictures. Your browser decodes each image, applies the edit with our own pixel code and shows a live preview before you download. You can process up to 30 images at a time and download them one by one or together as a ZIP.

Once your image is ready, you may also want the Add Border to Image Online, the Rotate Image Online or the Round Image Corners. All of our free image tools are listed in the Image Editing Tools Online collection and the Websolindia Image Converter.

When to Use the Add Watermark to Image

  • Photographers and designers sharing previews online.
  • Businesses branding product and event photos.
  • Marking draft images and documents as 'SAMPLE' or 'CONFIDENTIAL'.
  • Stamping many photos with the same logo at once.

What to Watch For

  • A watermark discourages casual copying but does not make theft impossible; a visible tiled mark is harder to crop out than a corner mark.
  • Text uses fonts available on your device, so lettering can differ slightly between computers.
  • Use a PNG logo with a transparent background for the cleanest result.
  • Keep 'Dark outline' on for white text so it stays readable on bright areas.

How We Process Your Images — Our Method

This is exactly what happens to your image, with no hidden step. You can check that nothing is uploaded by watching your browser's network tab while you use the tool.

How the Add Watermark to Image works, step by step
StepWhat happens
1. Read and decodeEach photo is decoded; camera orientation is applied.
2. Make the watermark layerText is drawn on a transparent canvas with your font, colour and optional outline; a logo is scaled to your chosen percentage of the photo width.
3. RotateThe layer is rotated by your angle, with the canvas enlarged to fit.
4. Place itOne of nine anchor positions with your margin, or a staggered grid at 1.8 × the layer size for tiling.
5. Blend and saveThe layer is composited over the photo: result = layer × (α × opacity) + photo × (1 − α × opacity); the file is saved in your chosen format.

Add Watermark to Image Online — Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add a text watermark to a photo?

Add the photo, choose Text, type your wording, adjust size, opacity and position, and press Apply.

Can I use my logo?

Yes. Choose 'Logo or image' and select a file. A PNG with a transparent background works best.

Can I watermark many photos at once?

Yes. The same watermark is applied to every photo, scaled to each photo's size, and you can download a ZIP.

How do I make the watermark harder to remove?

Use 'Repeat across the image', a lower opacity and a diagonal angle. A single corner mark is easy to crop out.

Will the watermark be visible on dark and light areas?

Use the dark outline option for light text, or choose a colour that contrasts with your photos.

Can I also add a border?

Yes, with the Add Border to Image Online.

Is the Add Watermark to Image Online free to use?

Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up, adds no watermark and has no daily limit. It is provided by Websolindia.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Your images are read and processed inside your browser on your own device. They are never sent to Websolindia or anyone else, which is why the tool is safe for private photos.

Does the tool keep EXIF and location data?

No. New files are created from the pixels, so camera details, GPS location and other embedded metadata are not copied. Keep your originals if you need that information.

How many images and how large can they be?

Up to 30 images per batch and 150 MB per image. Images above roughly 120 megapixels are declined with a clear message rather than freezing your browser.

Which browsers and devices does it work on?

Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on computers, phones and tablets. Large images and AI or AVIF features run faster on a computer.
