What is it?
This tool stamps a text watermark onto an image, entirely in your browser, with a live preview and your choice of text, position, rotation, size, opacity, and color. The watermark text field accepts multiple lines for a multi-line stamp.
Formula Explanation
The image is drawn onto a canvas at its full resolution, then your watermark text is drawn on top at the position you selected — a corner, an edge midpoint, or dead center — optionally rotated 45 degrees, at the opacity you set. The preview updates live as you adjust any control, and the downloaded file matches exactly what's shown.
Example Calculation
Entering "DRAFT" at 30% opacity with Position set to Center and rotation on stamps a large, translucent diagonal "DRAFT" across the middle of the photo; switching to Bottom Right with rotation off instead places a small, upright "DRAFT" label in the corner.
How to Use
- Click the upload area or drag and drop an image onto it.
- Enter the watermark text — press Enter for a second line if you want a multi-line stamp.
- Choose a position and whether it should rotate diagonally.
- Adjust font size, opacity, and color while watching the live preview.
- Click Download to save the watermarked image.
Benefits
- Marks a photo as draft, sample, or copyrighted without installing any software.
- Processes everything locally in your browser — images are never uploaded anywhere.
- Live preview shows exactly how the watermark will look before you download.
Use Cases
- Marking preview photos with SAMPLE before sending proofs to a client.
- Stamping a copyright notice or website name across shared images.
- Labeling a screenshot as CONFIDENTIAL before sharing it internally.
What Your Result Means
The downloaded image is the same resolution and content as the original, with your watermark text drawn at the position, rotation, and opacity shown in the live preview.
Tips
- Lower opacity (20-35%) keeps the watermark visible without hiding the photo underneath.
- Center + diagonal reads as a classic full-image stamp; a corner position with rotation off reads more like a small label.
- The default font size scales with the image, but feel free to adjust it — the live preview updates instantly.
Common Mistakes
- Setting opacity too high, which can hide the photo underneath.
- Using very long watermark text in a corner position, which can run off the edge of the image.
- Forgetting to check the live preview before downloading.
FAQs
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No, all processing happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API — your images never leave your device.
Can I add more than one line of watermark text?
Yes — press Enter in the watermark text box to start a new line. All lines are stacked and centered/aligned together.
Can I use an image or logo as a watermark instead of text?
Not in this version — only text watermarks are currently supported.
Can I remove a watermark this tool added?
Not with this tool — once downloaded, the watermark is part of the image's pixels. Keep your original file if you might need an unwatermarked copy later.
Images are read and watermarked locally in your browser and are never uploaded to a server.
