Why watermark?
Common goals: credit the creator, discourage reposting, mark “draft” or “sample”, or separate internal review copies. Wording, size, opacity, and placement depend on the goal.
Watermarks are not a legal guarantee, but they signal source and add a practical barrier to casual misuse.
Readable placement and opacity
Too faint — little effect; too strong — it hides the image. Preview on mobile and print if both matter.
Avoid covering faces or critical text. Consistent wording and position across a set helps brand recognition.
Keep the original
Watermarked output is a new file. Store the original separately and share only the marked version when needed.
