Photographers, designers and content creators often publish their work in open portfolios — and risk someone downloading and using the images without permission. A watermark is a simple way to reduce this risk without ruining the look of the work.
How to add a watermark
Watermark lets you place a text signature (e.g., your name or handle) or a logo over your photo, with manual adjustment of position, opacity and size — so the mark doesn't cover key details but is noticeable when someone tries to copy the image.
Preparation before uploading
Before publishing in a portfolio or on stock sites, it makes sense to first compress photos using Image Compressor — this speeds up your portfolio page loading and reduces file sizes without visible quality loss, and then apply the watermark as the final step.
Tip
Place the watermark not dead center, but near the edge of the meaningful part of the frame — it's harder to crop out without damaging the image, but it doesn't distract from the main subject.
