Add a watermark to photos and PDFs, for free

Add a text or logo watermark

A watermark shows who a photo or a document belongs to, or what it is for. Write your name, your website or a word like "Confidential", or use your logo: a PNG with a transparent background works best.

The same tool works on photos and PDFs. Choose a text or a logo, place it, adjust how it looks, and the preview shows the result on your first file before you apply it.

How to add a watermark in 3 steps

Add your files. Drop your photos or PDFs on the page, click Choose files, or paste an image with Ctrl+V. You can add several at once.

Set your watermark. Type your text or add your logo, then choose its position, opacity, size, rotation and color. The preview follows every change.

Apply and download. Click Add watermark, then Download next to a file, or Download all (ZIP) to get every file at once.

Place it: center, corners or a repeated pattern

Put the watermark in the center of the picture, in one of the four corners for a discreet signature, or choose the mosaic to repeat it across the whole image or page.

The mosaic covers everything, so the watermark cannot be cropped out: it is the safest choice for a photo you sell or a document you send to someone you do not know.

Opacity, size, rotation and color

Opacity makes the watermark lighter or stronger: low enough to keep your picture readable, high enough to stay visible. Size follows the picture, so a watermark keeps its proportions on a small photo and on a large one. Rotation turns it from -180° to 180°.

For a text, choose a color: dark, light, red, green, or any other from the color panel.

Watermark several files at once

Add several photos and PDFs at once: the same watermark, with the same settings, goes on each of them, one after the other. JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and JPEG XL images keep their format, an iPhone HEIC photo becomes a JPG anyone can open, and other formats, such as TIFF or BMP, come out as PNG.

In a PDF, the watermark goes on every page. A PDF with a digital signature is left as it is, so its signature stays valid, and a PDF locked by its author is not changed.

Private by design: your files never leave your device

Your files are watermarked in your browser, on your device. They are never sent to Drime or to anyone else, and nothing is stored: that matters for an ID document, a contract or your personal photos.

The tool is free and needs no account. To keep your files safe afterwards, Drime gives you cloud storage with a free plan of 20 GB.
