Free forever · Nothing uploaded
Add a logo or text watermark to your photos — one at a time or the whole shoot at once. Position it, tile it, fade it back. And no, we don't stamp our own watermark on your watermark.
Your photos never leave your device — everything is drawn in your own browser.
What it does
Photographers, real estate agents, product sellers, designers sending proofs — anyone whose work walks off without them.
Drop in a PNG logo, or type text and set the font, colour and size. Whichever suits the job.
Repeat the mark diagonally across the entire photo. Far harder to crop out than a corner stamp.
Load fifty photos, set it up once, and download the lot as a ZIP with identical placement.
The obvious irony of most free watermark tools. Yours is the only mark on your photo.
Questions
No. Every photo is drawn onto a canvas inside your own browser. Nothing is sent to us, which matters when you're marking client work that hasn't been paid for yet.
No — and we're aware how absurd that would be. There's no Etch branding, no "made with" line, no logo in the corner. Just your mark.
Use tiled mode. A single corner mark takes ten seconds to crop out; a mark repeated diagonally across the whole frame can't be removed without destroying the image. Keep the opacity low enough to see the photo, high enough that removing it leaves a mess.
Around 40–60% for a corner mark, and 20–35% for tiled, since tiling covers far more of the picture. Turn the shadow on if you're marking bright photos — white text disappears against a white background otherwise.
Yes. Select every photo, set the watermark up on the preview, and hit apply — the same placement is used on all of them and you get a single ZIP back. The position is proportional, so it lands correctly on both portrait and landscape shots.
Never. Your originals are untouched on your device; Etch only ever hands you new copies.

Etch, Squish, Onvert, Undersign and Qwirl are free because we'd rather be useful first. When you need the bigger work done properly, that's the day job.
