Frequently Asked Questions
?Can I add both text watermarks and transparent logo overlays?
Yes! You can switch between Custom Text mode (with typography, color, size, and rotation controls) and Logo Image mode (upload transparent PNG logos with custom scaling).
?What is the benefit of the Tiled Grid Repeat mode?
Tiled repeat fills the entire image surface diagonally with subtle repeating watermarks, preventing unauthorized cropping, screenshotting, or AI content scraping.
?Can I adjust the watermark transparency level?
Yes! The opacity slider allows you to dial in the exact transparency level (from 5% subtle watermark to 100% solid overlay) so your original artwork remains clearly visible.
?Are my original photos or logo files uploaded to any server?
No. The entire watermarking composite engine runs locally in your browser using HTML5 Canvas. Your proprietary branding assets and photos never leave your device.
?What file formats can I download?
You can download your watermarked photos in lossless PNG, standard JPG, or modern WebP format.
