## What is Watermark Image?

Watermark Image is a free online image tool from Farvixo that lets you add text or logo watermarks to images. The image is decoded, processed and saved inside your browser, so it never leaves your device. Output carries no watermark, keeps full resolution, and you can process as many images as you like without an account.

## Specifications

| Property | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Tool | Watermark Image — Image Tools |
| Purpose | Add text or logo watermarks to images |
| Input | A single file (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP) |
| Output | Image file in the format you select, at full resolution |
| Processing | In your browser — files are never uploaded to a server |
| Price | Free, unlimited, no account required |
| Limitations | Bounded by your device's memory and CPU rather than a server quota; very large files may be slow on older hardware |

## How to use Watermark Image

1. **Add your image** — Drop your image into Watermark Image or click to browse. JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF are all accepted, and nothing leaves your device.
2. **Adjust quality and size** — Choose dimensions, format and quality. Watermark Image previews the output next to the original so you can judge the trade-off before saving.
3. **Download the result** — Save the processed image at full resolution. No watermark is added and there is no daily cap — use Watermark Image as much as you like.

## Use cases

- Shrinking photos to meet an upload limit on a form, marketplace or job portal
- Web developers preparing assets in modern formats for faster page loads
- Social media managers producing correctly sized images per platform
- Anyone who wants EXIF and GPS data stripped before sharing a photo

## Tips

- Re-encoding drops the original EXIF metadata, including GPS coordinates — useful for privacy, but keep an original if you need that data.
- Never upscale a raster image to hit a size requirement; it invents detail and produces a larger file that looks worse.
- When a form specifies both pixel dimensions and a KB limit, set the dimensions first, then lower quality until the size fits.

## Common problems

- **Transparency turned black after converting to JPG** — JPEG cannot store an alpha channel. Pick a background colour before converting, or export to PNG or WebP instead.
- **The output is larger than the original** — You converted an already-compressed file to a lossless format such as PNG. Choose WebP or AVIF, or keep the original format and lower the quality.
- **The result looks soft or blocky** — Quality is set too low for the amount of detail. Raise it in steps of five and compare — most photos hold up until roughly 70.

## FAQ

### Where should a watermark go?

Across the middle at low opacity is hardest to crop out; a corner is least intrusive but trivially removed. Choose based on what you are actually protecting against — casual reuse or deliberate theft.

### Does a watermark really protect my images?

It deters casual copying and keeps your name attached when an image is shared. It will not stop someone determined, since removal tools exist — including ours. Treat it as attribution rather than security.

### Can I watermark many images at once?

Yes. Set the watermark once and apply it across a batch with consistent position and opacity, then download as a ZIP.

### What opacity works best?

Around 30–50% is usually the balance point: visible enough to claim the image, faint enough not to ruin it. Test on your busiest image, since a watermark that reads clearly on a plain sky can vanish on a detailed photo.

### Does watermarking reduce image quality?

The image is re-encoded, so there is a small quality cost at low settings. At sensible quality the difference is not visible — and it is far smaller than the resizing most images undergo anyway.
