How to use
1. Choose images
Tap “Choose files” and pick the photos or images to watermark. A full-screen editor opens.
Drag and drop the images to watermark anywhere on the page, or use “Choose files”. You can add as many as you like.
2. Enter the watermark text
Type your text (a name, “©”, “For ID verification only” and so on) in the field in the band below the picture. It appears in the center of the image right away.
In the panel on the right, type your text (a name, “©”, “For ID verification only” and so on) under “Watermark text”. It appears in the center of the image right away. To use a logo, choose “Logo image”.
3. Set the position and layout
Drag the watermark with your finger to move it anywhere. Tap “Placement” in the band below and choose “Tile” to repeat it diagonally across the whole image. Pinch with two fingers to resize, or twist to rotate.
Drag the watermark on the picture to move it anywhere. Press “Tile” in the panel on the right to repeat it diagonally across the whole image. Drag a corner to resize it, or the round handle to rotate it.

Great for
Stopping people from reposting your photos
Add your name or “©” in a corner, and it’s clear whose photo it is even if someone uses it without asking. You can watermark many photos at once.

Marking ID copies with what they’re for
Before sending a photo of your driver’s license or other ID, tile text like “For identity verification by XX only” across it so it’s harder to reuse for anything else.
People sending ID documents
Product photos for marketplaces and online shops
Adding your shop or account name helps stop others from reselling with your photos or posting fake listings in your name.
People selling online or on marketplaces
Sharing sample photos or designs
Tile “SAMPLE” diagonally to make a preview people can look at but can’t use as is.

Good to know before you start
- A small watermark in a corner can be cropped out. For stronger protection, use “Tile” to cover the whole image.
- Some recipients may not accept ID images with text over them. Keep the opacity low enough that important text and the face photo stay readable.
- You can’t remove just the watermark from a watermarked image. Keep the originals too.
Choosing a watermark layout
A watermark is faint text or a logo laid over an image. It shows whose image it is and makes it harder to use for other purposes.
A single small mark in a corner stays out of the way, but disappears if that part is cropped off. Tiling it diagonally across the whole image looks a little busier, but some of it remains wherever the image is cropped.
FAQ
Answers to common questions before you start.
Are my images sent anywhere?
No. Everything happens inside the browser on your device, and your images are never uploaded to a server. It’s safe to use even for images you don’t want others to see, like photos of your ID.
How do I mark an ID copy “For XX only”?
Type something like “For identity verification by XX only” in “Watermark text” and choose “Tile” as the layout. It repeats diagonally across the whole image, so the text remains wherever it’s cropped. Adjust “Opacity” and “Spacing” so names and numbers stay readable.
Can I use a logo as a watermark?
Yes. Choose “Logo image” and pick your logo file (PNG, JPEG or WebP). With a transparent-background PNG, only the logo’s shape is added, cleanly.
Can I fine-tune the watermark’s position?
Yes. Pick one of the 9 spots under “Position”, or drag on the picture to move it anywhere. Dragging never moves it off the image.
How do I rotate or resize the watermark?
Tap or click the watermark on the picture to show its frame. Drag a corner to change the size, or the round arrow handle to change the angle (hold Shift for 15° steps). On a phone you can also pinch and twist with two fingers. You can type numbers in “Size” and “Angle” too — both ways always show the same value. With “Tile”, every watermark changes together.
Can I watermark many images at once?
Yes. Every selected image gets the same watermark. Its size follows each image’s shorter side, so it looks the same on images of different sizes. When saving, you can download them together as a ZIP file.
Can I change the font or color?
Yes. Choose from fonts like Sans, Serif and Handwriting, and colors like white, black and red. Turn on “Add shadow” to keep the text readable on both light and dark photos. “Add outline” helps too.
Can I undo a mistake?
“Undo” takes you back one step. On a computer, Ctrl+Z (⌘Z on a Mac) works too.
Does it lower the quality?
The image size (in pixels) stays the same. PNG keeps full quality. JPEG and WebP are compressed again at a high quality when saving, so changes are only visible up close.
Do iPhone photos (HEIC) work?
Yes. Watermarked images are saved as JPG.
What about location and other info (Exif)?
It isn’t included in the saved image. The photo’s orientation is applied correctly.
Is it free?
Yes. No sign-up and no ads, and papatto never adds its own mark to your images.
