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.

Why Add a Watermark to Your Photos

A watermark protects your images from being used without credit or permission. Adding your name, website, or logo as a watermark makes it harder for others to use your photos commercially without attribution. Watermarks are commonly used by photographers, designers, content creators, and businesses sharing preview images online. A well-placed semi-transparent watermark is visible enough to deter unauthorised use without obscuring the image content itself. For portfolio previews and social media sharing, a corner watermark at 40 to 60 percent opacity is a common and effective approach. The watermark tool processes images entirely in your browser; no images are uploaded to any server.
