Tips for Effective Watermarks
Balance Visibility and Subtlety
A good watermark should be noticeable enough to deter theft but subtle enough not to ruin the image. Aim for 30-50% opacity for most use cases.
Use Tiled Mode for Maximum Protection
Tiled watermarks are much harder to crop or remove. Use diagonal text at low opacity across the entire image for portfolio protection.
Choose Contrasting Colors
White watermarks work best on dark images, and dark watermarks on light images. Adjust the color to ensure readability across your image.
Keep Text Short
Use a short brand name, copyright symbol, or URL. Long text watermarks are harder to read and look cluttered on images.

Can I use a logo as a watermark?
Yes. Switch to Logo Watermark mode to upload any PNG, JPG, or WebP image as your watermark. Transparent PNG logos work best for a professional look.
What is tiled watermark mode?
Tiled mode repeats your watermark across the entire image in a grid pattern. This is ideal for portfolio images and proofs because it makes the watermark nearly impossible to crop or remove.
