Frequently Asked Questions
- What types of watermarks can I add to my photos?
- Our photo watermark creator supports text-based watermarks including copyright notices, names, website URLs, or any custom text. You can customize font size, color, opacity, and positioning to create professional-looking watermarks that protect your images.
- How do I make watermarks subtle but effective?
- Use the opacity slider to reduce watermark visibility to around 50-70% for subtle protection. Position watermarks in corners or edges where they won't interfere with the main subject. Choose colors that contrast slightly with the background for visibility without being distracting.
- Will watermarking reduce my image quality?
- No, our watermark creator maintains your original image quality. The watermarking process adds text overlay without compressing or degrading your source image. You can download the watermarked image in the same quality as your original.
- Can I watermark images for commercial use?
- Yes! Watermarked images are perfect for commercial use, portfolio protection, and brand marketing. Add your business name, website, or copyright information to establish ownership and promote your brand across all your visual content.
- What's the best watermark placement for photos?
- Bottom-right and bottom-left corners are popular choices as they're less likely to interfere with the main subject. For landscape photos, consider bottom-center placement. For portraits, avoid placing watermarks over faces. The key is balancing visibility with aesthetic appeal.
