How do I protect my photos online?

Q: What is the best position for a watermark?

Bottom-right is the most common position as it is subtle but visible. For photos you are sharing on social media, center or tiled watermarks are harder to crop out. Use a position that does not cover important content in your photo.

How Watermarking Protects Your Images

A watermark is a visible overlay added to images to identify ownership and deter unauthorized use. Effective watermarks balance visibility (clear enough to deter theft) with non-intrusiveness (not so prominent that it ruins the image for its intended use). Center watermarks are hardest to remove but most intrusive. Corner watermarks are less intrusive but easier to crop out. Tiled watermarks that repeat across the entire image are the hardest to remove completely. Opacity affects both visibility and removability: 30-50% opacity creates a noticeable watermark that blends with the image rather than obscuring it. Text watermarks should include your business name or website URL so anyone who sees the image knows how to find the original source. Watermarks protect creative work shared on social media, stock photo sites, and in client proofs before final delivery.
