About Image Watermarker

Sharing a photo online (a portfolio piece, a product shot, a social media post) often means marking it first, so a copy that gets re-shared or scraped still carries your name, handle, or a "do not use" notice. This tool stamps a customizable text watermark directly onto an uploaded image, entirely in your browser, and lets you download the marked file with no account, no upload limit, and no server involved.

Pick your watermark text, then place it with the same nine-point position picker (top-left through bottom-right, plus dead center) used by this site's PDF watermarking tool, choose a font size, a color, an opacity from barely-there to fully opaque, and a rotation angle for a diagonal stamp across the frame. A live preview overlays the watermark on your actual uploaded image as you adjust each setting, so what you see before downloading is exactly what ends up in the file.

Under the hood, the watermark is drawn straight onto the image's own pixel data with the Canvas API, the same approach a native photo editor would use, then exported as a new file in your original image's format (JPEG, PNG, or WebP) via the browser's built-in image encoding, so there's no quality-losing round trip through an unrelated format. The output keeps your photo's original resolution; nothing is downscaled to make the watermark process faster.

Every step, from decoding the image and rendering the live preview to baking the final watermark into the downloaded file, happens locally using APIs already built into your browser. Your photo is never uploaded, transmitted, logged, or stored anywhere, even for a moment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my image uploaded anywhere while I add a watermark?
No. The image is decoded directly in your browser the moment you select it, and the watermark, from the live preview to the final downloaded file, is rendered entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded, transmitted, logged, or stored anywhere.
Does the downloaded file match what I see in the preview?
Yes. The live preview overlays the watermark on your actual uploaded image using the exact same text, position, size, color, opacity, and rotation settings that get baked into the downloaded file via the Canvas API.
Will watermarking reduce my image's resolution or quality?
No. The output keeps your original image's exact pixel dimensions; only the watermark text is added on top. JPEG and WebP exports use a high-quality encoding setting, and PNG exports stay lossless.
Can I position the watermark anywhere other than the corners or center?
The position picker offers nine fixed anchor points (three rows of top/middle/bottom, three columns of left/center/right), the same set used by this site's PDF watermarking tool. Combined with the rotation slider, this covers the placements most watermarks actually need, like a diagonal stamp across the center or a small mark tucked in a corner.
What image formats can I upload and download?
You can upload any common image format your browser can decode, including JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and BMP. The downloaded file keeps your original image's format where possible (PNG stays PNG with transparency preserved, JPEG and WebP stay as JPEG and WebP); other formats download as JPEG.
