Frequently asked questions
Is this watermark tool free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no account, and no watermark added by the tool itself. You control the entire watermark.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. The watermark is applied entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device.
What position options are available?
Nine positions in a 3x3 grid: top-left, top-center, top-right, middle-left, center, middle-right, bottom-left, bottom-center, and bottom-right.
Can I control the opacity of the watermark?
Yes. Use the Opacity slider to set transparency from 10% (very faint) to 100% (fully opaque). A value around 40-60% is a common choice for a visible but non-distracting watermark.
What font size range is available?
The font size slider goes from 12pt to 120pt. The right size depends on your image dimensions — larger images need bigger text to stay visible.
Which image formats can I watermark?
JPG, PNG, and WebP. The output format matches the input — JPEGs stay as JPEG, PNGs stay as PNG, and WebPs stay as WebP.
Can I use custom watermark colors?
Yes. There are quick presets for white, black, and red, plus a color picker for any color you need. White or light watermarks work best on dark images; black on light images.
Is the watermark permanent?
Yes — the watermark is burned into the exported image. Keep your original file if you need to make changes later.
