Add Custom Watermark to Photo Online – Text, Image or Tiled Watermark

DC — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 23:04:24 +0000

Adding custom watermark to your digital photos or images is important to prevent other sites or people using or displaying the images without giving credit to you. While there are many free photo editor software that can do this, you can also add watermark to your photo online for free. Compared to other similar online image watermarkers, you will probably like this one better since it has more watermarking features that others are lacking of.

PicMarkr allows you to add watermark to a single photo or, if necessary, multiple photos at once in 3 steps only. The number of photos uploaded at once is limited to 5 photos. The total size of the uploaded photos must not exceed 25 MB. You can upload photos from hard drive or import from Facebook, Flickr or Picasa. The photos uploaded can be optionally resized.

There are three different watermark styles you can choose: text watermark, picture watermark, or tiled watermark. For the tiled style, you can choose between text or pictures as the watermark.

How to add text watermark

The screenshot below tells you everything how to do it. The sample preview changes accordingly when you move from one preset to another preset, but not when you change the position of the text.

How to add picture watermark

First you need to create the small image that you want to display on the photo. This is especially perfect if you prefer to display your logo instead of merely text. Upload the small image and select where it should be positioned on your photo.

How to add tiled watermark

You just need to type in the text or upload the image that you want to display throughout the watermarked photo. This watermark style is the best option to prevent people cutting out the part of the image that has the watermark.

The watermarked pictures can be downloaded to your hard drive or uploaded to your Facebook, Flickr or Picasa album. The preview window lets you see how your watermark is applied to the photo before downloading. All in all, I like PicMarkr and recommend it if you need a quick online image watermarker.
