Watermark guides
Learn how text and logo watermarks work, choose placement and opacity, and prepare images for portfolios, social posts, and product listings.
A watermark adds visible text or a logo to an image. It can identify a creator, label a draft, or make a product preview easier to recognize as yours. The guides here cover the choices that determine how a watermark looks: wording, logo size, placement, opacity, and whether a single mark or a repeating pattern fits the job. They also discuss how to keep a mark readable while leaving the important part of the image visible.
Use these articles when preparing photography, social posts, portfolio samples, or product images. A corner mark may be enough for a simple preview, while a larger or repeated treatment may suit a proof that should remain clearly branded. Think about how the image will be cropped by its destination before placing the watermark, and keep an unmarked original so you can make a different export later.
The watermark tool supports text and logo workflows, with controls for styling and position. The linked guides explain how to approach those settings for different kinds of images and audiences. They also discuss watermarking many images as a workflow question; check the tool page for the options currently available to your account. If the source image also needs different dimensions or a smaller file, use the resize or compression guides as separate steps.
