What this text watermark tool actually does

This page draws your image onto an HTML canvas, paints the text you type over those pixels, and lets you save the result. It is a visible credit or draft mark, not a legal lock and not an invisible fingerprint. Someone can still crop, cover, or recreate the picture. Use it when you want a readable name, URL, or status such as DRAFT to travel with a preview.

A complete pass looks like this:

  1. Choose a JPEG, PNG, or another raster image the browser can decode. The preview stays empty until that decode succeeds.
  2. Type the watermark text. PNG, clipboard, SVG, and PDF buttons stay disabled until the text box is not empty.
  3. Set font, size, color, opacity, rotation, and the X/Y percentages. The canvas redraws as those values change.
  4. Turn on tiling only when a single corner mark would be easy to crop away. Spacing controls how far apart the repeats are.
  5. Download the PNG first. Use the other exports only after you understand what they contain.

Fonts are the names installed in the browser, not files uploaded with the image. If a listed face is missing, the browser substitutes another face and the preview is the result you will export.

Worked settings you can copy

Start from a setting that matches the job, then change only one control at a time so you can see what moved.

If the text disappears, it is usually the same color as the background, opacity is near zero, or the X/Y percentages have pushed it off the visible area. Move it back to 50% / 50% before changing the font.

What each export really contains

  • PNG download: the recommended file. It is the canvas saved as watermarked-image.png. The original JPEG compression and any camera metadata are not preserved.
  • Copy: writes a PNG clipboard item. The browser must allow clipboard images. If it does not, the page shows “Unable to copy the image to clipboard.”
  • SVG: an SVG wrapper whose only graphic is the same PNG data URL. Opening it in a vector editor will not give you editable text layers.
  • PDF: that PNG placed on one A4 page with 10 mm margins, scaled to fit and centered. Portrait or landscape follows the canvas. It is not print-resolution vector type.

Limits to plan for

  • A visible mark can be cropped, cloned over, or covered. Tiling raises the effort; it does not make removal impossible.
  • There is no steganography, no owner certificate, and no check that the text is still present after someone edits the file.
  • Very large photos use more browser memory because the full bitmap is drawn. If the preview fails, try a smaller JPEG or PNG.
  • Animated GIF and formats the browser cannot decode are outside what this canvas workflow can preserve.

Check the file before you publish it

  1. Open the downloaded PNG in another viewer, not only the preview on this page.
  2. Shrink it to the size you will actually post. If the credit becomes unreadable, increase the font or opacity and export again.
  3. Crop one corner in an image editor. If the only mark disappears, switch on tiling.
  4. If the photo came from a phone and you do not want location data in the published file, run the PNG through the EXIF remover. The canvas export normally drops the original container, but checking is the reliable step.

Privacy for this tool

The watermark is applied in your browser. This tool does not upload the selected image to a Quraim Soft processing server. The site itself can still load advertising and cookies while the page is open. Read the privacy policy and cookie policy for that site behavior.

Closing the tab discards the in-memory canvas. The downloaded PNG, SVG, or PDF remains on your device.
