The watermark system

Text and logo watermarks work together. Add as many as you want and configure each one separately.

Watermark Layers panel showing a text layer and an image layer side by side

Layers

Text and image layers, stacked freely

Add as many text and image watermarks as you like. They are all listed under Watermark Layers, and each one can be switched on and off and configured on its own, so changing one layer never disturbs the others.

Text watermark editor with bold, italic and underline buttons, alignment buttons and the text "© Studio"

Text watermarks

Every detail of the text is adjustable

A multi-line box with bold, italic, underline and left, center or right alignment. Choose the font, size, line height and color, and optionally give the text its own background plate.

Add Shooting Info menu listing Camera Model, Photographer, Capture Time, Shutter Speed, Aperture and ISO Sensitivity

Dynamic text

Set it up once, and every image gets its own values

Insert placeholders into the watermark text and the same watermark picks up each picture's own details. Stamp a whole client shoot with each frame's capture time and camera model after a single setup.

Image watermark editor: file path, output width and height with a lock button, and the logo on the canvas

Logo watermarks

Your brand logo as a transparent PNG

Browse to your logo file and set its output width and height (4 to 1000 pixels). The chain button between them locks the aspect ratio, so changing one side recalculates the other and the logo never gets distorted. A PNG with transparency keeps its transparent areas, with clean edges and no white box.

Tile mode: the watermark text repeated across the whole photo

Layout and placement

Snap to a nine-grid, or tile across the whole image

In Single mode the watermark appears once. Nine buttons snap it to a corner, an edge or the center, you can drag it anywhere on the canvas, and you can switch on Random so each image gets a different position, which defeats batch cropping. Tile mode repeats the watermark across the entire image with adjustable spacing, which makes it much harder to crop or clone out.

Effect section of the watermark editor with switches for Drop Shadow, Outer glow and Scatter

Effects

Three effects, stackable

Over photos that are light in one place and dark in another, a little effect keeps the watermark readable. You can switch on any combination of them.

  • Drop shadow ·A soft, directional shadow that lifts the mark off the picture
  • Outer glow ·An even halo that keeps light text readable on dark images
  • Scatter ·A worn, spray-paint grain for a stylized finish

Output and compression

One output format for the whole batch, with a real preview of quality and file size.

Output Format dropdown listing JPG, PNG24, PNG8, WebP, BMP, GIF and TIFF files

Output formats

Seven formats, one export

Whatever format the originals are in, they are all saved in the format you choose. Compression quality runs from 10 to 100 (the default is 80); lower values give smaller files and more visible quality loss.

  • JPG ·Lossy, no transparency
  • PNG-24 ·Lossless true color, with transparency
  • PNG-8 ·Indexed 256 colors, smaller files
  • WebP ·Small files at the same visible quality
  • BMP ·Uncompressed, largest files
  • GIF ·Indexed color; the quality setting has no effect
  • TIFF ·Common in print workflows
Compare quality window: the 12 MB original next to the processed WebP at 917 KB, minus 93 percent

Compare quality

See the real compression result before you process

The original and the processed result sit side by side, with pixel dimensions, file size and the percentage change shown above each. The preview goes through exactly the same encoding path as the batch run, so you see the file that will actually be written, not an estimate. Drag the quality slider and it re-encodes on the spot.

Batch tools

Resizing, renaming and batch running all happen in the same pass as the watermark.

Resize images panel on the Advanced tab with Pixel Mode and Percentage Mode, and the list of six resize modes

Resize

Batch resize with six resize modes

Pixel mode takes a target width and height, or one of the common-resolution presets (avatar, thumbnail, web or email, and standard monitor sizes). Percentage mode scales proportionally. For most jobs, Min is the one to pick.

  • Min (recommended) ·Fits inside the target proportionally; no cropping, no distortion, never enlarges
  • Pad ·Scales to fit, then pads the remaining area to match the target aspect ratio
  • Box Pad ·Same idea within the given dimensions, without enlarging smaller images
  • Crop ·Scales proportionally, then trims the overflow so the target is filled exactly
  • Max ·Scales proportionally to the maximum size the target allows
  • Stretch ·Forces the exact target size and will distort the picture
Rename output file name panel: renaming rule, serial number digits, beginning number and increasing value, with a live example file name

Rename

Rename the output files in the same run

Build a rule such as "watermark_" followed by a serial number, using placeholders for the serial number, the original file name, the extension and dates. The beginning number, the number of digits and the step are adjustable, and the panel shows a sample of the resulting file name as you type. Resizing and renaming both live on the Advanced tab, and both run in the same pass as the watermark.

Progress dialog showing 3 of 4 images processed, with a Cancel button

Batch processing

The whole batch runs, even if one file fails

A progress dialog shows how far along the run is, and you can cancel at any time. One bad file does not stop the batch: it is skipped and counted as a failure, and the result message tells you how many succeeded. Every run is saved to Recent with its complete settings, so next time you can apply the same setup to a new folder in one click.

Language window listing English, Simplified Chinese, French and Spanish

Languages

Four interface languages

English, Chinese, French and Spanish, switchable from inside the app. Changing the language restarts the program: your settings and watermarks are kept, and the list of added images is cleared.
