Adding Text and Image Watermarks to Protect Your Photos Online
1. Safeguarding Digital Intellectual Property
Sharing photos, product shots, and artwork online exposes them to scraping. To prevent unauthorized commercial use, adding a semi-transparent copyright notice or branding logo as a watermark is a simple yet powerful deterrent.
2. Setting Placement, Angle, and Opacity Levels
A watermark should deter thieves without ruining the photo's appeal. Setting opacity to 20%–30% and placing it either centrally or in corners ensures your branding is visible but unobtrusive.
3. Processing Custom Watermarks Privately in Dabomlab
Our watermark tool lets you add custom text or a PNG logo, then adjust scale, rotation, and opacity. Selected source images are not uploaded to or stored on external editing servers.
