Create eye-catching watermarks

During editing, you will have a great view of your image, since it will take up the majority of the screen. However, please, note that you won’t be able to zoom in and out of your photo. In our free watermark maker, the toolkit shows up right next to a watermark, so all the essential tools will be readily accessible, and you won’t have to move the cursor around the screen a lot. This will undoubtedly make the editing process unchallenging and quick. Make Watermark offers a great variety of tools, with the help of which you’ll be able to design individualized watermarks that will become a harmonious part of any photo. You can:

Choose one of 900 assorted fonts

Adjust size and opacity using scroll bars

Enable straight or diagonal repeated watermarks

Add one of 65 varied effects

“This app is a great mix of simplicity and efficiency.”

Watermark

Do you need to add a watermark to more than one photo? Perfect! Our app can process several dozen images in one go! If your batch consists of small and large photos, the app will modify the size of your watermark. If you upload a few landscape- and portrait-oriented photos, the position of your watermark will be adjusted. Both of these actions are done automatically by default. However, Make Watermark has the Preview Section, where you can reposition and resize your watermark on each image manually.

“Make Watermark will process as many images as you want.”

All The Features

Make Watermark may be simple to use, but its toolkit offers all of the complex necessities

Textual Watermarks

Design watermarks that contain one or several lines of text. Experiment with different combinations of fonts and colors, and choose the right level of opacity. Use one of 65 amazing effects to add a special touch to your textual watermark.

Multiple Fonts

Make Watermark’s extensive collection of assorted fonts will help you design the ideal textual watermark. There are common, classic, funny, unusual, handwritten, bold, thin fonts, and many more!

Your Logo

Our watermark maker allows you to add logos, too. You can upload your logo from your device, Google Drive, Google Photos, or Dropbox. If you don’t have a logo, the gallery of varied icons will come to your rescue. Our toolkit is the same for logos and textual watermarks, so you can make as many changes to your logo as you need.

Unobtrusive Watermarks

To make your watermark look more cohesive and harmonious with your visual content, you can lower the level of opacity and/or add the glass-like effect. This way, your watermark – text or logo – will be visible enough to deter people from stealing your photo. But at the same time, it won’t steal all the attention.

Repeated Watermarks For Better Security

With the help of the tile feature, you can make a watermark fill up the entire image. The "Straight" option will produce repeated watermarks that are parallel to each other. Meanwhile, the "Diagonal" option will give you repeated watermarks that are positioned checker-wise. The space between watermarks can be adjusted with the "Span" slider.

Resize Watermarked Copies

Unfortunately, watermarks can never guarantee 100% safety, which is why publishing high-resolution photos online might be unwise. By resizing your watermarked copies, you won’t give thieves the chance to get their hands on high-quality originals in case they manage to remove your watermark. In the Export settings of our watermark maker, it is possible to pick a different format and quality for your watermarked copies. For example, you can choose “Convert to JPEG and compress”. This option will produce images that are of small size and look good. They will be safe to post on the Internet.

How To Make a Watermark For Photos in 4 steps

Watermarking is incredibly easy. Even if it’s your first time using an image editing app, you will still be able to use Make Watermark with no trouble. Your photos will have a beautiful-looking logo, text, or both in just a couple of minutes.

Step 1 – Import Images

Upload your photos from your computer, Google Drive, Google Photos, or Dropbox.

From Your Computer

Open the selected folder on your computer, then drag and drop your images directly into our watermark maker. It is also possible to click on "Select Images" and pick "From My Computer". Next, choose photos that you need to watermark. Press Ctrl+A on Windows or Cmd+A on Mac to select all pictures in your folder.

From Google Drive

After you pick "From Google Drive" in the "Select Images" menu, you will need to grant access to your cloud storage. Simply click "yes" in the popped-up dialog. Once the Google Drive Picker appears, choose the photos. If you hold Shift, while clicking on images, you will select several of them. The importing process for Google Photos is exactly the same.

From Dropbox

If you choose the "From Dropbox" option for importing, you will have to give the approval to Make Watermark. To grant access to your cloud storage, pick “Yes” in the popped-up dialog. Now, choose images for watermarking in the Drobox Picker. Click on images, while holding Shift to select several of them.

Clear images

By clicking on the "Clear" button you will remove all imported images from the app.

Step 2 – Design your watermark

In Make Watermark, it is possible to add a textual watermark (Add Text) or a logo (Add Logo). You can check out our gallery and pick one of our built-in icons or, alternatively, upload a PNG logo file from your computer, DropBox, Google Drive, or Google Photos.

A textual watermark will say "Your Watermark" when it first appears. Click inside the "Text" input box, erase the word, then type in your name, the name of your brand, or whatever else you want. Your watermark can be repositioned using your cursor. Our watermark maker offers a comprehensive set of editing tools. It includes a vast library of fonts and a variety of colors – solid and gradient ones. There are several sliders to resize and rotate your watermark as well as adjust its opacity.

You might find the list of previously used templates extremely useful since it contains 10 watermarks that you applied to your photos at least once. To make this list visible, click on "Remove watermarks" to get rid of all active watermarks on your image.

Step 3 – Set Up Export Settings

You can go to the Export Settings by clicking on the “Watermark Images” button. You’ll find two options here:

1. File Format. You can keep the original format; convert to JPEG of standard or maximum quality; convert to JPEG and compress to get a standard quality with a small file size; convert to PNG, which is lossless, or to WEBP which has a standard quality. Short descriptions of each option will provide you with enough information to make the right choice.
2. Resize Images. This drop-down menu also contains a few items: No, Exact width, Exact height, Exact width and height, Maximum width and height, and Percentage. If you want to resize images by width, height, or both, you will need to enter the required number of pixels. You will get a preview of what size your watermarked copies will be.

In addition, you can enable the option of your watermark being the same size in pixels on all images.

The Preview Section

Here, it is possible to view how your watermark looks on each photo. You can also reposition it as well as modify its size and level of opacity using sliders. The alterations won’t affect other photos, so you can edit your watermark on each image.

The Preview Section can be opened by clicking on the “Preview Watermark” button and closed by clicking on the cross in the top right corner.

Step 4 - Add Your Watermark.

Now, click on the "Watermark Images", and the watermarking process will begin. Once it’s finished, you’ll have three options to choose from:

• "Download All" to download a zip-archive with all watermarked copies.
• "Google Photos" to export your watermarked copies to Google Photos.
• "Dropbox" to save your watermarked copies to Dropbox.

You will also see the list of all the watermarked images. To download each photo separately, you need to click on its name on the list.

Protect your watermarks against automatic removal

Some companies develop algorithms to remove watermarks. They analyze a group of photographs with a stigma, recognizing how much of the image it occupies, and then remove it completely. Such programs can cause significant damage to photo banks, because they use the same watermarks on all their photos. nine0003

Visual Watermark changes the watermark slightly to make it more reliable. A copy of the watermark is applied to each image, which looks exactly the same as the previous one, but in fact there are slight changes in it. Thus, automated algorithms will not be able to completely get rid of your watermark. Learn more about removing watermarks.

Resize after watermarking

Watermarks can be removed. For example, if the brand is located against a clear sky, it can be easily painted over and thus steal your photo with impunity. And if you post a full-resolution image on the Internet, the villain will get the original of your work. It is better to keep the originals in full resolution on your computer, and upload smaller copies to the Internet. Even if the villain removes the watermark, he will not receive the original photo. nine0003

You can reduce the size of a photo with Visual Watermark by selecting the "Resize" option in the "Output Options"

Why Watermark Your Photo

In today's world, many people create visual content by uploading tons pictures on the internet every day. If you are one of them - you have your own website, blog or like to share photos on social networks - you may have already wondered what the purpose of a watermark is and whether you should add it to your images. nine0003

A watermark in a photo is a visible translucent stamp: a logo, brand name or name applied over the original image. Ideally, it should not draw all the attention to itself and distract from the photo itself.

The main task of a watermark is to protect your photos from theft and preserve copyrights. Suppose you have published your creation on the Internet, but have not put a brand on it. After a couple of days or weeks, you suddenly find that someone has stolen your image and is passing it off as their own, thus attracting new customers or subscribers. If you put a watermark, perhaps this terrible situation could have been avoided, as it makes it clear and clear who the author of the work is. Of course, a small mark in the corner of a photo does not guarantee you 100% protection against theft, so we recommend that you learn more about ways to enhance it: how to improve watermark protection

The second advantage of a watermark is branding and promotion of your brand, because in fact it is free advertising. After seeing your photos or images of your product on the Internet, potential customers will be able to quickly find your website or page in social networks thanks to the watermark, typing the name or company name into the search bar. It's much easier than playing detective trying to identify the author yourself. For example, clothing brands attach a tag with their name to each item so that you know who the manufacturer is. Watermarks are name tags for your images. In addition, people will begin to associate your brand with a particular style and type of photography. nine0003

In ancient times, great artists often marked their works by placing their names inside the paintings. This was done both to develop a “client base” and to preserve their copyrights, although at that time it was far from important to forge the works of outstanding masters. Unfortunately, in the modern world, you can steal an image with a couple of mouse clicks. If you want to avoid this situation and still promote your brand, increase sales, and increase website traffic, you need to brand your images. nine0003

Visual Watermark is a Mac and Windows application that watermarks. It supports group mode, with which you can put a watermark on hundreds and thousands of photos at once. It has a lot of watermark templates and display options built in. With the Visual Watermark app, watermarking is very easy and simple - you only need to follow three simple steps.

Visual Watermark has 10 built-in templates to help you quickly create your own watermark. A watermark template can contain a logo and up to three lines of text. You can add as many templates as you need to create your new watermark.

Click the Add Group button and select the required template. To add your own logo, choose a logo icon template.

Depending on the template you choose, you then have to enter your own logo and text (title, subtitle, phone number, etc.). nine0003

Changing the position of the brand

After selecting a watermark or its element, it will be possible to change its position and adjust the external watermark. To move the brand, click on the selected element and drag it to the desired position. You can also use the arrows on your keyboard to move the watermark.

All available setting options are displayed on the right.

Among them,

• Scale, rotate and move the sign to the desired position.
• Ability to specify the transparency of the watermark.
• Possibility to apply 2 of 66 visual effects.

Reusing Watermarks

The next time you open the application, Visual Watermark will automatically load the last used watermark. If you don't want to use the previous watermark, click the Remove watermark button on the right. nine0003

If you want to use the previous stamp, click the Next Step button to move on.

If your watermark is empty, the application will prompt you to use one of the previous watermarks.

Visual Watermark saves the last 10 watermarks you have used. To load a previous stamp, simply click on it.

Step 3 - Specify output settings and mark the photo

Visual Watermark provides the following output options:

• Output folder. Click Edit and select the required folder. Note that you cannot export an image to a folder containing the original images.

• Watermark autoscaling. If this option is enabled, Visual Watermark automatically resizes the watermark for cropped and high resolution images in the same group.

• Image format and quality. nine0151 Select one of the compression levels: medium, good, excellent, or maximum. The higher the image quality (resolution), the larger the file size.

• Photo scaling. Select one of the scaling methods: do not scale, scale by width (to the specified width in pixels), scale by height (to the specified height in pixels), scale by width and height (to the specified width and height in pixels). Don't post high resolution photos online to avoid being stolen. nine0003

• Rename photos. You can leave the file name as is, or enter a new one to change the default name.

• Authorship metadata. Allows you to specify your authorship and contact information. This information is added to the photo's metadata (EXIF) and is not visible on the photo itself. It can be read using the file browser dialog (Windows) or the Preview application (Mac).
