Adding watermarks to your images is a crucial step in safeguarding your creative work and maintaining your brand identity. Watermarks not only protect your photos from unauthorized use but also serve as a suitable signature that can enhance your professional image.
You don’t just add a watermark on images. Customize it to your liking.
Multiple watermarks: You can maintain a collection of multiple watermarks within your Pixpa account. You can choose between text-based and image-based watermarks.
Tiled watermark display: You can determine how you want the watermark to look on your images.
Flexibility in size, position, & transparency: Whether you choose a fixed position or tile, you can decide the transparency, size, and exact positioning of your watermark. Simply adjust the marker to the left or right. Opacity will help you decide how bold or transparent your watermark should be. Scale will help you decide how big or small your watermark should be. Offset will help you decide the exact positioning of your watermark.
Easy to apply: You don’t need to upload a fresh set of photos when trying to change the watermark. All you need is a click of a button to update the watermark on your entire gallery of images. Easy peasy!
