Add Text Watermark to Images Online
Text watermarks are the most versatile way to protect and brand your images. Whether you're a photographer adding copyright notices, a business marking promotional materials, or a content creator establishing your brand, text watermarks let you add any message you want. Our tool gives you complete control over the appearance and placement of your text, all without uploading your images to any server.
How It Works
- Upload your image - Drag and drop or click to select the image you want to watermark. We support PNG, JPG, WebP, and other common formats.
- Enter your watermark text - Type your desired text - copyright symbol (©), your name, brand, website URL, or any custom message you want to display.
- Customize appearance - Adjust the text size, color, and opacity using the intuitive controls. Preview changes in real-time before applying.
- Choose position - Select where to place your watermark - bottom-right is most common, but you can choose any corner, center, or create a tiled wall pattern.
- Download your image - Click download to save your watermarked image at full resolution. The original image remains unchanged on your device.
Pro Tips
- 💡Use the © symbol followed by year and your name for proper copyright notices (e.g., '© 2025 Your Name')
- 💡White text with 50-70% opacity works well on most images without being too distracting
- 💡For dark images, try light-colored text; for light images, use darker colors
- 💡Place watermarks over important parts of the image to prevent easy removal
- 💡The tiled wall pattern makes it nearly impossible to crop out your watermark
- 💡Keep text short and readable - long sentences become hard to read at smaller sizes
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ⚠️Making text too small - it becomes unreadable and easy to remove
- ⚠️Placing watermarks in corners only - they can be easily cropped out
- ⚠️Using fully opaque text that distracts from the image content
- ⚠️Choosing colors that blend into the image background
- ⚠️Forgetting to include the year in copyright notices
