How to Add Logos, Watermarks, and Branding to Images in Photopeg
Introduction
For businesses, photographers, and content creators, branding is essential. Adding a logo or watermark protects your work and builds brand recognition.
Photopeg makes it incredibly easy to add logos to photos online free. Because it supports layers and transparency (PNGs), you can place, resize, and adjust watermarks in seconds.
This guide shows you the fastest way to brand your images using Photopeg.
1. Why Watermark Your Photos?
- Protection: Discourages theft and unauthorized use.
- Branding: Helps people find you when your content is shared.
- Professionalism: Makes your work look official.
2. Step-by-Step: Adding a Logo in Photopeg
Step 1 — Open Your Main Image
Load the photo you want to watermark.
Step 2 — Import Your Logo
Go to File → Open (as layer) or drag and drop your logo file onto the canvas.
Best format: PNG (transparent background).
If your logo has a white background, use the Magic Eraser to remove it.
Step 3 — Resize and Position
Use the Transform handles to resize the logo.
Place it in a corner or center (depending on your preference).
Step 4 — Adjust Opacity (The "Watermark" Look)
Select the logo layer.
Lower the Opacity to 30%–50%.
This makes the logo visible but not distracting.
3. Creating a Text Watermark (If You Don’t Have a Logo)
If you don’t have a logo file, you can create a text watermark instantly:
Select Text Tool.
Type your name or website (e.g., @MyPhotography).
Choose a clean font.
Color it White or Black.
Lower opacity to 40%.
Add a Drop Shadow (optional) to make it readable on any background.
4. Pro Tip: Tiled Watermarks (Full Protection)
For maximum protection (like stock photo sites):
Duplicate your watermark layer multiple times.
Spread them across the image.
Lower opacity to 10%–15%.
This prevents anyone from cropping out your logo.
5. Batch Watermarking?
Photopeg is a single-image editor.
If you need to watermark 50+ photos at once, a batch tool is better.
But for 1–10 images, Photopeg is faster because there’s no upload time.
