What image formats are supported for watermarking?

We support JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, and WebP formats for adding watermarks.

Can I use an image as a watermark instead of text?

Currently, this tool supports text-based watermarks. For image-based watermarks, you might want to use our PDF watermark tool or image editing software.

Will the watermark affect my image quality?

No, the watermark is applied in a way that preserves the original image quality. Only the watermark layer is added on top.

Can I remove a watermark after adding it?

Watermarks are permanently applied to the image. We recommend keeping a copy of the original file before adding a watermark.

What's the best opacity level for watermarks?
