When to use a watermark

• Photographers — protect portfolio images shared on social media or client proofs by branding them with a studio logo.
• E-commerce sellers — add your brand logo to product photos before listing them on marketplaces to prevent image theft.
• Content creators — mark screenshots, graphics, or artwork with your username or website URL so viewers can find you.
• Small businesses — brand all outgoing visuals consistently without needing expensive design software.
• Real estate — add agency branding to property listing photos quickly before publishing.

Tips for a professional-looking watermark

• Use a PNG with transparency — this is the single biggest quality difference. A white-background JPG logo looks unprofessional on coloured photos.
• Keep opacity between 30–60% for subtle branding that doesn't overpower the image. Use higher opacity only when copy protection is the priority.
• Size at 15–25% of the photo width for a balanced look. Logos smaller than 10% are easy to crop out; larger than 40% becomes distracting.
• Bottom-right corner is the most common placement and the hardest to crop without removing important content.
