What is a Watermark Generator?

A Watermark Generator is an image processing tool that adds text or image watermarks to photos and graphics to protect intellectual property, establish brand identity, and prevent unauthorized use. Watermarks are semi-transparent overlays placed on images to indicate ownership, copyright, or branding while maintaining the visual appeal of the original image. This generator supports both text watermarks (with customizable fonts, colors, and styles) and image watermarks (logos or graphics), offering precise control over position, opacity, rotation, and visual effects. Watermarks are essential for photographers, content creators, businesses, and anyone sharing images online who wants to protect their work. Discover more image tools in our comprehensive collection.

How to Use a Watermark Generator?

Adding watermarks to your images is simple:

1. Upload your image: Select the photo or graphic you want to watermark
2. Choose watermark type: Select text watermark (for copyright text) or image watermark (for logos)
3. Customize settings: Adjust font, size, color, opacity, position, and rotation
4. Position the watermark: Choose from preset positions or use custom coordinates
5. Apply effects: Add shadows, adjust transparency, or enable repeat patterns
6. Preview and download: Review the watermarked image and download the final result

Watermarks help protect your creative work from unauthorized use while maintaining professional appearance. Position watermarks strategically to balance visibility with image aesthetics. For text watermarks, use readable fonts and appropriate opacity (typically 50-70%). Image watermarks work best with transparent PNG logos. Check out our free AI tools for more creative utilities.
