Why watermark images
Watermarks discourage unauthorized reuse and reinforce your brand when images are shared or reposted elsewhere.
Text vs logo watermarks
A text watermark is quick and works well for photographers marking proofs. A logo watermark is better for brand consistency across product photos or marketing images.
Keep it visible but not distracting
A semi-transparent watermark in a corner is usually enough to deter casual reuse without ruining the image. RookImg's watermark tools let you control position and opacity precisely.
