Tips for watermarking your photos

Lower the opacity to around 20–40% so your watermark doesn’t overpower the photo but still protects it.
A watermark that’s too large will dominate the image. Too small, and it’s easy to ignore. Find a middle ground for visibility without distraction.

Adjust the spacing between watermark repetitions to balance coverage with aesthetics. Wider spacing means a cleaner look, while tighter spacing means more protection.
Always use the same logo, font, and color across your images. It strengthens brand recognition.
If you’re processing multiple images, use batch watermarking to save time and keep everything consistent.

Frequently asked questions

What is a watermark?: A watermark is a copyright protection tool — a semi-transparent text or image overlay that often includes a logo, the creator's name or brand, or a copyright notice.
What are the benefits of watermarking images?: Watermarking helps protect your images by discouraging unauthorized use. It shows clear ownership, especially when shared online, and reinforces your brand when you use consistent text or logo marks. It’s a simple, visible way to claim your work.
Are there any drawbacks to watermarking pictures?: While watermarks are a strong visual deterrent, they’re not foolproof — some advanced tools can remove them. If a watermark is too bold or distracting, it can also take away from the image itself. And while they help with visibility, watermarks don’t replace copyright protections.
Does a watermark protect my images from AI scraping?: A watermark can help show that your image is protected, but it may not stop AI tools from scraping or using it — many can ignore or remove simple watermarks. Instead of placing a small logo in the corner, set a repeated watermark across the image using Proton's free watermarker. It’s harder to remove and makes your ownership clear.
How do I make a watermark?: You can create a watermark by either typing custom text or uploading a logo. Our watermark maker lets you add text to photos by choosing a font, adjusting size, color, opacity, spacing, and angle. If you prefer a logo, upload a transparent PNG or any image file, and it will be repeated across your pictures.
Are my images uploaded to a server?: Your images never leave your device. Everything runs 100% in your browser to ensure complete privacy. If you accidentally refresh the page, you have to reupload your images and customize watermark settings.
What image formats are supported?: We support all popular image formats, including JPG, PNG, and WebP. Your images are saved in their original format.
Is there a limit to how many images I can process?: There are no usage limits, so you can watermark as many images as you need, whenever you want.
