Complete Guide to Photo Watermarking

Best Practices for Watermark Placement

Place watermarks where they're visible but don't distract from the image. Bottom-right corner works best for landscape photos. For product images, use a center overlay with low opacity (15-30%) so the watermark can't be easily cropped out. Avoid placing watermarks in solid-color areas where they're easy to clone-stamp out.

Text Watermark vs Logo Watermark — Which Is Better?

Text watermarks (your name, URL, or copyright notice) are quick and effective for most photographers. Logo watermarks are better for brand recognition — they work well on product photos, social media content, and marketing materials. Snipinsta supports custom text with adjustable font, size, color, and opacity.

How to Protect Photos Without Ruining Them

The key is transparency. Set opacity between 20-40% — high enough to be visible, low enough not to ruin the viewing experience. Use a contrasting color (white text on dark images, dark text on light images). For portfolio proofs, consider a repeating diagonal watermark pattern that covers the entire image.

Batch Watermarking Multiple Images at Once

Photographers who need to watermark entire shoots can upload multiple images at once. Apply the same watermark settings (text, position, opacity, size) across all images, then download them in bulk. This saves hours compared to watermarking images individually in Photoshop.
