Everything happens in your browser: your photos are not uploaded anywhere. Saved copies are new files, so the location and camera details stored in the originals are removed too.
Why watermark your content
Leaks happen to almost every creator eventually. A watermark doesn’t stop someone from copying your photos, but it changes what happens next:
- It makes stolen copies point back to you. Anyone who finds a leak can search your username and find the real page.
- It makes takedowns easier. Your name across the image is clear proof of where it came from when you, or a takedown service, report it.
- It discourages lazy reposting. A watermark across the middle is hard to crop out without ruining the photo.
If your content is already out there, read how DMCA takedown services compare.
Which style to choose
- Tiled: your username repeated diagonally across the whole photo. Hardest to remove. Best for previews, teasers and anything you send to new buyers.
- Centre: one large mark across the middle. A good balance for paid content.
- Corner: small and neat. Easy to crop out, so use it only where looks matter more than protection, like social media.
Keep the opacity between 25 and 45%: visible enough to protect the photo, light enough not to spoil it.
Your photos stay on your device
Most online watermark tools upload your photos to their servers. This one doesn’t. The watermark is drawn by your own browser, and the photos never leave your phone or computer.
There’s a bonus: the copies you save are brand-new image files, so the hidden details in the originals (like GPS location and camera model) aren’t carried over. That matters more than people think. Photos taken at home can carry your exact location.
Natalia’s take
After my leak in 2020, I watermarked everything, even the photos I thought nobody would ever share. The ones you’re sure won’t leak are the ones that do. Put your name on it and make the thief do your marketing.
More ways to protect your content
- Use a different watermark position now and then, so one crop can’t remove them all.
- Put your watermark on customs too, especially for new buyers. Here’s why in our guide to custom request scams.
- Keep your originals, unwatermarked, somewhere safe and offline.
Quick questions
Is this watermark tool really free?
Yes. No account, no limits beyond 20 photos at a time, and no upload.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. The photos never leave your device.
Does it remove location data from my photos?
The watermarked copies you download are new files without the original’s hidden details, such as GPS location and camera model.
Where should I put a watermark so it can’t be cropped?
Across the middle of the image, or tiled across the whole photo. Corner watermarks are the easiest to remove.
