What You Can Do with the Watermark Tool
Custom Text Watermarks
Add text watermarks with full control over font, size, color, opacity, rotation, and position. Apply bold, italic, outline, gradient fills, curved text, shadow, and glow effects.
Logo & Image Watermarks
Upload your brand logo or any image as a transparent watermark overlay. Adjust opacity, scale, and position — or tile it across the entire image for maximum copyright protection.
Handwritten Signature
Draw your signature directly on screen with mouse, stylus, or finger. The signature pad supports pressure sensitivity and undo/redo — then place it anywhere on your photo as a personal watermark.
PDF Document Watermarking
Watermark multi-page PDF documents with text, logos, or dates. The output preserves selectable text, clickable hyperlinks, and original page dimensions — no flattening or quality loss.
Invisible Hidden Watermark
Embed an invisible digital watermark into your image using steganographic encoding. The hidden payload is imperceptible to the human eye but can be extracted later using our built-in verifier to prove ownership.
Tile & Repeat Patterns
Repeat your text or logo watermark across the entire image in a tiled grid pattern. Adjust spacing, rotation angle, and opacity to create a professional deterrent against unauthorized use.
How It Works
Upload Your File
Drag and drop any image (JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF) or PDF document. Your file stays in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
Design Your Watermark
Add text, logo, signature, date, or border layers. Customize every detail — font, color, opacity, position, rotation, tiling, and effects. Stack multiple layers for complex watermarks.
Download Protected File
Export your watermarked image in JPG, PNG, or WebP format. For PDFs, download a fully watermarked document with all pages processed and text preserved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this watermark tool free to use?
Yes — you can add watermarks to images and PDFs completely free, with no signup, no usage limits, and no watermarks added by the tool itself. All features including text, logo, signature, hidden watermark, and PDF watermarking are available at no cost.
Can I add a watermark to a PDF document?
Yes. Upload any multi-page PDF and apply text, logo, date, or border watermarks across all pages. The exported PDF preserves selectable text, clickable hyperlinks, and original page dimensions — your document content remains fully intact.
Do my files get uploaded to any server?
No. This is a client-side watermark tool — your images and PDFs are processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted over the internet. This makes it ideal for watermarking sensitive or confidential images before sharing them online.
What types of watermarks can I add?
You can add text watermarks (with gradient, outline, curved text, shadow, and glow effects), logo or image watermarks, hand-drawn signature watermarks, date/time stamps, decorative borders, and invisible hidden watermarks for copyright verification.
Can I upload my own logo as a watermark?
Yes. Upload any PNG, JPG, or WebP logo file as a transparent watermark overlay. Adjust its opacity, scale, and position — or enable tiling to repeat the logo across the entire image for complete copyright protection of your photos.
What is the hidden watermark feature?
The hidden watermark uses steganographic encoding to embed an invisible text payload into your image pixels. The watermark is imperceptible to the human eye but can be extracted and verified using the built-in verifier. It only works with PNG exports to ensure lossless preservation of the encoded data.
Can I draw a handwritten signature watermark?
Yes. The signature pad lets you draw your signature directly on screen using your mouse, stylus, or finger on touch devices. The tool supports pressure-sensitive input, stroke undo, and clear all. Your signature is then placed on the image as a watermark layer with adjustable position and opacity.
Does watermarking reduce image quality?
For JPG and WebP exports, you control the quality slider. At high settings (90%+), quality loss is minimal. PNG exports are lossless. The watermark is composited onto a full-resolution canvas, preserving the original image dimensions and detail.
What image and document formats are supported?
The watermark tool supports JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF (iPhone photos), TIFF, and multi-page PDF documents.
Can I tile or repeat a watermark across the entire image?
Yes. Both text and logo watermarks support a tile/repeat mode that fills the entire image with evenly spaced copies of your watermark. You can adjust the spacing, rotation angle, and opacity to create a professional pattern that deters unauthorized use while keeping the image viewable.
How can photographers protect their images from unauthorized use?
Photographers can use a combination of visible and hidden watermarks. Add a visible text or logo watermark with your name or brand for visual deterrence, then add a hidden steganographic watermark with your copyright information. If someone removes the visible watermark, the hidden watermark can still be extracted to prove ownership. Use the tiling mode to cover the entire image and make it harder to crop out.
