    What it does

    Protect previews of your work or mark drafts. Tiled mode repeats the text diagonally, which is much harder to crop out than a corner mark.

    How to use it

    1. Choose an image.
    2. Type the watermark text and choose position, size and opacity.
    3. Apply and download.

    Questions

    Can a watermark be removed?

    Any visible watermark can be edited out with enough effort. Tiled, semitransparent marks are the hardest to remove cleanly.

    How is text size chosen?

    As a percentage of the image width, so it looks the same on small and large images.
