Add a Watermark to an Image — Text, Private in Your Browser

Stamp a watermark across your photos to protect them. Utilitly lets you add a text or logo watermark to a JPG, PNG, or WebP image — and fine-tune its opacity, position, and color — all right in your browser. Your image is never uploaded and stays entirely on your device.

How to Add a Watermark to an Image

1
Add your image
Drag and drop your JPG, PNG, or WebP into the tool, or click to select it. Nothing uploads.

3
Style it
Set the opacity, pick a position, and choose the text color.
4
Apply and download
Preview the result and save your watermarked image.

About This Tool

Utilitly's Watermark Image tool overlays a text or logo mark on a photo — to protect your intellectual property or brand your work — while doing all the rendering inside your browser. Most online watermark tools upload your photo to a server first; this one applies the mark locally with the HTML5 canvas, so your images stay on your device.

Control opacity, position, and color

Fine-tune exactly how the watermark looks. Set the opacity so it's visible without hiding the photo, choose where it sits — a corner or dead center — and pick the text color. Prefer a logo? Switch to an image watermark and drop in your own graphic.

Add a watermark privately, in your browser

There's no upload and no server copy. The watermark is applied entirely in your browser, so your original photos stay on your device. That matters for a copyright tool — most watermark sites ask you to upload the very images you're trying to protect. If you've searched for how to watermark an image without uploading it anywhere, this keeps everything local.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add a watermark to an image?

Add your JPG, PNG, or WebP, type your watermark text (or upload a logo), then set the opacity, position, and color. Preview the result and download the watermarked image — all locally in your browser.

Can I use my logo as a watermark?

Yes. Switch to an image watermark and upload your logo, then choose where it sits on the photo — a corner or the center.

Can I control how the watermark looks?

Yes. You can set the opacity, choose the position, and pick the text color — or switch to an image watermark and use your own logo.

How do I add a copyright notice to a photo?

Type your copyright text — for example "© Your Name" — set the color and opacity so it's visible but doesn't overpower the photo, and choose where it appears. Download the marked image when it looks right.

Does watermarking my image upload it to the cloud?

No. The Watermark Image tool processes your photo 100% locally inside your browser tab, so your images never leave your device.

Is it safe to watermark private photos online?

Yes. Because everything is processed locally in your browser and nothing is uploaded, even personal or unpublished images stay entirely on your device — which is exactly what you want from a tool meant to protect them.

What image formats can I watermark?

JPG (JPEG), PNG, and WebP.

Is there any Utilitly branding on the output?

No. Only the watermark you add appears — there's no Utilitly watermark or branding on your image.
