What this tool helps you solve

When sharing an image for review, a discreet name or draft label helps recipients identify its source. Apply a text watermark locally before sending previews to clients or posting a sample.

A practical daily workflow

Add your studio name to a draft social banner before sharing it for approval. Choose a visible position that does not cover the main subject.

Get a better result

A watermark is a visual label, not copy protection or proof of ownership. This version supports text labels, not uploaded logo overlays.

Keep an untouched original and inspect the result at the size your audience will see. If your next step is a new layout, explore free Canva templates. For additional context, read the related design guide or collection.

Frequently asked questions

Can the watermark be removed later?

Keep the original file. The downloaded watermark is baked into the pixels and cannot be independently edited in that exported image.

Are my files uploaded to a server?
