Frequently Asked Questions

Any text — your name, website URL, copyright notice, or brand name (e.g., '© 2026 YourSite.com').

No. The watermark is composited at full image quality. The result is identical in quality to the original.

Yes — choose from multiple position presets (corners, center) and adjust opacity from 10% to 100%.

40–60% opacity is the professional standard — visible enough to deter copying and establish ownership, subtle enough not to obscure the image itself. Use 80–100% opacity only when the watermark is a key part of the image design.

Visible watermarks deter casual copying and make credit-stripping require deliberate effort. For strongest protection, use a diagonal center watermark at 50% opacity — this is hardest to crop out. No watermark is technically uncircumventable, but a well-placed one significantly raises the effort required.

Our tool currently supports text watermarks. For logo/image watermarking, you can convert your logo to text (e.g., using your brand name) or use a tool like Canva or Photoshop for image-over-image compositing.

Negligibly — the added text pixels are a tiny fraction of the total image. The resulting file size is effectively identical to the original.

About This Tool

Watermarking is the most widely used method for establishing ownership of digital photography, artwork, and design work. A visible watermark signals to viewers that the image has an identified owner, serving as a deterrent to casual copying and attribution-stripping. For professional photographers, stock image creators, and commercial designers, watermarking is an essential step before sharing previews publicly. PixlTools adds custom text watermarks to images server-side using Sharp's composite layer system — the text is rendered at high quality and composited onto the image at the position and opacity you choose. Unlike desktop software, no installation is required, and the process completes in seconds. Your images are processed and immediately deleted — never stored or shared.

Browser-Based

Watermark Image runs entirely in your browser — no software to install, no extensions, no plugins.

Fully Private

Your images are deleted from our servers immediately after processing. Nothing is logged or shared.

Always Free

No account required. No watermarks. No usage limits. PixlTools is free for everyone, forever.
