Guide
Image Watermark is the watermark panel of the image workbench (?tool=watermark) and holds two tabs. Under “Single watermark”: type the text, choose a colour, opacity 5–100% and an angle of ±90°, then click “Add text watermark”; or click “Upload an image watermark” to place a logo (it arrives at 25% of the canvas width). Either becomes an ordinary object layer that you can drag anywhere, scale from a corner and rotate, and when it is selected you can adjust its opacity on its own or delete it. Under “Full-image tiling”: flip the switch and the whole picture is covered with a repeating text (the default is “Internal use only”) or image; the controls are opacity 2–100%, angle (−30° by default), size (3–30 relative to the image width) and spacing (1–5×). The tiled layer sits below the border and above object layers. Processing happens locally in your browser.

The difference from “Batch Watermark”: here you work on a single image, what you see is what you get, and everything can be dragged; there one set of parameters is applied to many images in a nine-cell grid.
| Input | Output | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Text “© Sam Rivera Photography”, white, 50%, −20°, dragged to the bottom right |
A translucent text layer that can be moved again |
A single watermark is an object layer |
Tiling · text “Internal draft”, 30%, −30°, size 10, spacing 2 |
Pale small text tiled diagonally over the whole image |
The default parameters |
Tiling switched to “Image” with a logo uploaded |
The logo repeated across the frame by the same rules |
It can coexist with a single watermark |
Put a translucent line of text in the bottom-right corner and nudge it until it suits the composition.
Tile the frame with “Internal use only” before sending it on.
Upload a transparent PNG, drop it where it belongs and scale it down.
Tile the company name over a draft and hand over a clean version once the client signs off.
Yes. The single one is an object layer and the tiling is a separate overlay, so they do not interfere.
When a border is enabled it sits above the tiled layer and covers the edges. Turn the border off, or accept the effect.
Use “Batch Watermark”, which applies one set of parameters to every image.
Watermarks are composited on a canvas inside your browser, so neither the image nor the logo is uploaded to any server, and both are released from memory when the page is closed.
