Image watermark: what it is and how to use it
What is Image watermark?
Image watermarking adds text or marks to signal source or draft status. CodeGrid Tools renders in the browser so assets avoid unnecessary cloud pipelines. Watermarks are not legal protection by themselves. Daily limits and Pro match other image utilities. This guide explains when Image watermark helps and how to run it step by step in CodeGrid Tools.

FAQ
Should the watermark be in a corner or centered?
Text or a small logo is usually less distracting in a corner, while a repeating pattern is often better for copyright protection.
Is PNG transparency preserved?
The source alpha channel is preserved where possible, but the final composition may vary depending on the output format.
Will it slow down on very large images?
Canvas processing depends on memory and resolution; if necessary, compress or resize the image first.
