How to Add Watermark: Step-by-Step Guide
Upload Your Image

Choose Watermark Type
Select between text watermark or image watermark. Text watermarks are great for adding copyright notices, your name, or website URL. Image watermarks are perfect for adding logos or brand icons. You can switch between types at any time.
Customize Your Watermark
For text watermarks: customize font, size, color, and opacity. For image watermarks: upload your logo and adjust size and transparency. The preview updates in real-time so you can see exactly how your watermark will look.
Choose Position & Repeat Option
Select from 9 different positions (top-left, center, bottom-right, etc.) or enable "Repeat watermark multiple times" to create a pattern across your image. When repeating, you can control the number of watermarks and spacing between them.

Click the "Apply Watermark" button to process your image. Our algorithm creates a high-quality watermarked version while preserving the original image quality. The processing happens instantly in your browser.

After processing, a modal window shows you a preview of your watermarked image. Review the result, then click "Download" to save your protected image. The file will be named with "-watermarked" suffix and timestamp for easy identification.

Click "Reset" to return to the upload screen and watermark another image. There's no limit - you can protect as many images as you want, completely free. No registration, no subscriptions, no hidden fees.
💡 Pro Tips
- For subtle watermarks, use low opacity (30-50%) and place them in corners
- For strong protection, use repeated watermarks across the entire image
- Use PNG format for image watermarks with transparency
- Keep text watermarks simple and readable - avoid fancy fonts
- Save original copies of your images before adding watermarks
- For website/blog images, place watermarks in bottom-right corner
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I remove the watermark after adding it?
Once a watermark is applied and the image is downloaded, it becomes part of the image and cannot be removed. We recommend keeping the original unwatermarked version as a backup. Our tool processes everything in your browser, so no copies are stored on our servers.
What's the maximum file size for watermark images?
The main image can be up to 50MB. For watermark images (when using image watermark), the maximum size is 10MB. This ensures optimal performance while allowing high-quality logos and icons.
Are my images stored on your servers?
No! ImageMely.com processes everything locally in your browser. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security. Once you close the page, all temporary data is permanently deleted. This is especially important for sensitive or copyrighted images.
What's the difference between text and image watermark?
Text watermarks are created using customizable text with various fonts, colors, and sizes - perfect for adding copyright notices, your name, or website URL. Image watermarks allow you to upload a logo or icon - ideal for branding your photos with your company logo or signature.
How do repeated watermarks work?
The "Repeat watermark multiple times" option creates a grid pattern of watermarks across your image. You can control how many watermarks appear and the spacing between them. This is excellent for protecting images from unauthorized use, as removing all watermarks would be extremely difficult.
Will the watermark reduce image quality?
No, the watermark is added without compromising the original image quality. The image dimensions remain the same, and the watermark is applied at the pixel level. However, if you save as JPEG after adding a watermark, some compression may occur. For best quality, save as PNG.
Can I use transparent PNGs as watermarks?
Yes! PNG files with transparency work perfectly as image watermarks. The transparency is preserved, allowing your logo to blend naturally with the background image. This is ideal for professional branding where you want your logo to appear seamlessly on photos.
Is there a limit on how many images I can watermark?
No limits! ImageMely.com is completely free. You can add watermarks to as many images as you want, as often as you want. No registration, no subscriptions, no hidden fees. Each image is processed individually with the same high quality.
What happens to the original image format?
The watermarked image is saved in the same format as the original when possible. PNG files remain PNG (preserving transparency), JPEG remains JPEG, etc. For GIF files, we convert to PNG as GIF doesn't support the watermarking process well. WebP and BMP are also preserved when supported by your browser.
Can I adjust the watermark after applying it?
In the current version, you need to reset and reapply the watermark if you want to make changes. However, you can preview the watermark in real-time before applying it, so you can experiment with different settings until you're satisfied with the result.
